The fragile heart


My heart is a fattened turkey trying to fly! Perhaps your concerns are with my sanity rather than the condition of my heart. But,I have come to the conclusion, that the greatest malady that can befall a man is not the tragedy of cancer, or the shame of dying of an incurable sexually transmitted disease... It is not the horror of sudden death of a loved one, or the loss of a fortune; No! It is the hopelessness of a broken heart and a crushed spirit as result of being rejected in love. Take a man's arm! Cut out his eye... It will hurt less than a man having his vulnerable honest intentions trampled by a witch.

To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant. — Amos Bronson Alcott (1799-1888)
