"But what is foolish, what is irrational, 
 is not our tendency to act from the heart,
 and the disregard the mind,
 but societies tendency to sever the wire that allows us to do so.
 The only reason we stop loving so strongly is because we shown hate.
 The only reason we stop trusting so willingly is because that trust is abused.
 The only reason we stop forgiving is because we learn to not only quit acting from the the heart,
 but to ignore it all together.
 We learn to oppress emotion, we learn that crying is weak, 
 that loving is vulnerable, and that happiness is vain."
