I was recently thinking over the past few years about the different types of people I have interacted with. It is an interesting thing to try to take yourself through the conversations you have had with people and look at them from an outside perspective. What I focused on in this last round of conversational analysis was the different kind of hearts people had, and how they presented themselves. I sent some of these observations to my best friend Joe, and he liked the ideas that I had presented, so I decided that I would delve in further to these different types of hearts.
The first is the Heart of Stone.
This is a strong heart, yet one that is heavy with the burdens it carries. It is a foundation for the holder's friends and families, a solid base for those who might use it. It can chip away under pressure, and the weight of such a heart may be too much for some people, yet overall it is a strong heart to admire. Unfortunately, because of it's nature, it is impossible to see through it to the hearts motives. To get to its core, one must chip and chip away until it is at the center. This process is painful to the holder, and to the one who is chipping away, but once the center is reached, the person who has reached it can become part of it's core, and know the security of the heart of stone.
The second is the Heart of Diamond.
This heart is brilliant to behold. It dazzles and sparkles, drawing in those around it to wonder at its beauty. It is a strong heart that does not simply chip away, yet it can shatter if the right point is found. While it is beautiful, what makes it beutiful and so dazzling is how it refracts light inside of it. You can never really tell what is on the inside, and the light one sees is usually bend and changes as the looker changes their point of view.
The third is the Heart of Glass.
While not as pretty as the diamond, or as strong as the stone, the glass heart has the unique characteristic of clarity. It is completely clear, allowing you to see the inner most parts of itself. To look through it may provide the looker with a different perspective on whatever is being seen. While clear to those who choose to befriend the glass heart, as mentioned priorly, it is a fragile thing. It chips, shatters easily, and is often hard to put back together once broken. Though it can be put back together by the holder, it is far easier when the holder has allowed other to participate in the process. When pieced back together, it will not be the same as before, but rather provide a new view of things as one looks into it.
