mindfful: that scripture is very limited taken out of context

its referring to whats in a mans heart manifests in everything he does
so if your nature is foul it will be seen

if you are properly and lovingly and service focused-as charged by god-
(since you brought god into it) then our life will be a reflection of that

what you get out is relative to what you put in

you reap what you sow

guard your mind (the helmet), guard your mouth etc.hi lucky-saw you gone i was bummedyaaaaaaaay your here!!

wave ...Believe me when i tell you this ALOT of what is written in that particular book(specifically that verse) can be applied to many aspects of someone's life...wave

But,with time and a strong will,I've become a stronger and a more confident woman because of the heartache.So,I shall put
my worries and woes behind me and,live for the moment."


I agree! thumbs up

This is one of the questions I was thinking about a lot as well. Is it worth to risk yourself and your heart to someone who eventually breaks it in two? I think there is no good answer like yes and no, but I believe, that in general, you always have to risk or give away something to get another thing in return.
And how will you know what you want or what you value in a person, if you never try any closer relationship to others? We are born without any experience and growing up or growing older means you will always try something new. For a child, the first day of school or the first contact to children of the same age is a risk as well. and when you get older, you risk more and more. For sure we could build up walls around our hearts and let nobody see into our souls, but imagine you would do this for the rest of your life...you will be extremely unhappy and broke inside. And if there is a chance to be happy with someone else who makes you smile, gives you different opinions and cares for you, you will certainly choose this way, because everyone wants at least a little happines in their life.
I am sure we all know what a broken heart feels like, the scars on your soul and this aching emptiness inside. But you only learn to value emotions this way (in my opinion...)
and why giving up after like being hurt nine times, when there might be person number ten who really is the one you have been looking for (friendship, love, or whatever kind of relation). would that be fair?
But I guess, everyone has to decide on their own, if you either give your heart and risk it to be broken but one day very happy, or keep it for you, with no wounds, but no happines either.

lucky200761: I've been told by several people that to find love(or happiness) you have to risk getting hurt by putting it out there; is that really a smart thing to do. The one thing that holds our beliefs, our joys, and who we truly are as person, should be put at risk for finding someone else...

...At what price do we pay for having the one thing that can be truly be called our own, sold and exchanged repeatedly just to find a sense of worth, companionship, and happiness?

By the time we find that one person, how does ones heart look like? is it torn and repeatedly reglued? is it so bruised and beaten that it has lost it's life?

MY point....Can we really give who really are completely, after giving it to many others in trial and error? It is one thing to open your hearts to love one another, but it is something completely different to risk your whole being in attempt to find a mate...

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.(Proverbs 4:23)


I've had my heart shredded so many times that it is healed to a point of wholeness that risks love totally without fear. Why? Because I've learned that being hurt doesn't kill me, but living life less than fully is a state of partial death that I don't want to live in. I can't live there again...life is too short. heart wings

The only people who get their hearts broken are those who put themselves in a position to have them broken!!

For the time being the answer must be no, but shortly you will be able to go to your local Chinese shop and buy a new one.

Better to have never loved at all than to feel that pain.

Oh, Vonney...I so disagree with you on this. hug The pain heals, and we're stronger for it. Living is a risk, period...loving always carries risk, but to not do so is not really living.

I agree the pain heals, most pain does but that doesnt mean I want to go through it again, and if it can be avoided I feel it should.

To find love again, you have to climb out on the thinnest of tree branches. To love truly, you have to give your all. How can you be truly committed to someone if you are holding back part of your heart? If your heart feels so beaten and bruised, then you need to do some healing first. You are not in a place to give all of you to anyone. An investor risks his money to gain more. Does he always have a gain? No. Will he keep investing? Yes, because the gain is always worth it. We are all investors with our heart? If we stop investing, will we get a heart in return? In order to recieve someones heart, we have to open ours.

I have to agree with Vonney here. If you never love then you're ignorant to the feeling. But once you've had that kind of pain, it's different. I just don't see how a little love from someone outweighs that. dunno

because feling loved is worth all the pain. If you never been truly in love then you wouldn't undersatnd. If not feeling the pain or the love is okay for you, go for it.
