Isn't That The Purpose?


Am I too soft or is the world too hard?

 

No, you just feel too much.

 

But isn't that the purpose of having a heart?

Is to feel the good and the bad.

To feel the good in the bad and the bad in the good?

To feel the best and the worst?

To feel until I can't feel anymore.

Isn't that the purpose of having a heart?
 

"The purpose of having a heart is to live. Not to live because that's your only purpose."
