The Heart of Men – Reflection this Holy Thursday
God created man in his own image, but perhaps the greatest flaw, and ironically the greatest beauty of the creation of men is his heart.
Mens’ Heart, the source to the greatest power man will ever lay his hands on: love
there are various levels of love, but we will not dwell on that, we need to question this power. In most literature, love is portrayed as a positive influence: a mother’s love can for instance, drive a mother to great lengths just so to protect her child, cinematic-ally, who can deny not seeing a clichéd moment when a mother suddenly jerks from near death just to protect her child, and dies once the job is done; then there is the love that is passionate, between lovers.
History has been the quiet witness to so many happily ever afters, and an equal number of tragic endings. As we hear the tales of Cinderella in our formation years, we hear the tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet. it is almost sad to witness the corruptible nature of the human heart as we age.
what does the heart desire?
Love? Power? Sex? Recognition? Riches?
what does your heart hide even from yourself?
Man’s heart is corruptible. Perhaps, God created this flaw for a reason. i just told a friend that a life where everything goes to plan is not a life worth living. Perhaps its just god trying to create a form of entertainment for himself hah!
i crave for success for various reasons, good reasons i believe and i crave for acceptance.
I wonder how long i can stay true, will my heart fail?
