WHAT IS THE PURPOSE
OF YOUR HEART?
What is the purpose of the human heart? Is it to pump blood? To love? To feel? I find it interesting that we cannot hear nor feel our heartbeat without the intent to do so. The organ that is solely responsible for my every breath goes unrecognised so much. When we do things that are good for our body, like exercise or fall in love, is that why I can feel my heart race so much more? Even if I am heaving for air, desperate to collapse and rest, is my heart secretly happy that I am finally moving my body to the rhythm of its beat? Should I be able to answer this, since it is my heart after all?
