Achy Breaky Heart





If you heard songs like "tearing up my heart" , "heartbreak hotel","Only Ones who know", "Last Night on earth" or "Break even" you would realize composers talk about the heart not as a biological entity that powers our body, but more of the central place where our human feelings are, generally the feeling of love. If you have been "heart-broken" you would know what I mean when I say that yes, it literally feels that way, if you have not experience this, it's not something you want to go through Ever.

And after all of man's advancement in technology and science, we are still trying to figure out what love is and what constitutes love. Is it a human construct such as time? Something to help us get by our existence? Isn't it strange that a mainframe can be the best chess player but it can't tell us logically if a person is our soul mate or why we love someone? Only the "heart" can.

How it would be great to be able to control this stupid "heart" which causes us to behave irrationally, to do things that may seem illogical. But that is what makes us human, that is what separates us, the stupid "heart". I wish we could turn it off, especially when it's broken, when it is shattered, when all it is causing pain. Off for just a moment to be able to cope with life, to live like a child.

Although, one thing diet companies should promote is about how the stupid "heart" being broken would help anyone lose weight fast. If someone found a scientific way to turn on "the brokeness", that person might just become a milionaire overnight

Dear Pfizer,

Please invest some research funding into fixing "heart" problems as the market is vast and there is no competition currently. I am sure millions are at stake. I would like a sample once ready.

Thank you,
Jonathan Declan Tan
