jono7: for years i adhered to the 'broken' plate..
then i learned something a bit different.
Another Story
imagine...visualize...a bunch of children playing in a mud hole. they are all flinging mud on each other. they know they'll go home and wash it off.
life can be a bit like this. some folks are gonna fling their mud on you.. it doesn't break you. you have the choice to wash it off.
people are not broken.
My thoughts too, I cannot see any correlation between a plate which is solid and inflexible and a heart which is living and very flexible.
Surely it is us as a person who can say how much something hurts us, if we allow it to have that effect, then it is also within us to end that hurt.
To make your heart the responsibility of someone else seems somewhat dangerous and shirking ones own responsibility to oneself.
Falling in love is a kind of ego inflation, we actually want the other person to fall in love with us, as that feeling is a good feeling, but when that love goes, it is our own heart that seems to hurt, due possibly to a crushed ego. Ergo we are the one to fix our own broken heart.
