Sometimes people hide their heart whether that is from their family, friends, or the opposite sex, but why? Is it self preservation or self destruction? Most argue that by containing their emotions and never revealing one's true self that they are able to maintain a sense of poise and control. But I believe pure, consuming love is the exact opposite. Love is the act of complete wrecklessness and is anything but selfish. Afterall, just like Thomas Aquinas said, love takes up where knowledge leaves off. That being said, let's start losing our minds and opening ourselves to the possibility of something foreign.
Of course with everything most of us are comfortable jsut staying in our small predictable circle where everything is orderly and has reason, but what's to be so afraid of? Everything. I am just like the next person, I am terrified at the thought of letting someone inside my head, let alone my heart. The idea of someone knowing all your teeny tiny intricacies and loving you anyways sounds like utter bliss.
"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. - 1st John 4:18
Maybe we all spend so much time trying to protect ourselves that we forget what we should be doing with our feelings because by keeping all of that love in not only are we driving ourselves, but the world as well.
