Matters of the Heart

I've always felt like it was kind of like my mission to educate people on just how important heart is, I sometimes felt like I was speaking to the deaf. On January10th of last year I had the privilege of going from Owego to Wayne, NJ, and on that night, I, along with four of my buddies, got to see a very emotional retirement speech from Vince Russo (former WWE television writer). In his speech Vince talked about heart and how important having lots of heart is. Sound familiar? Vince stated that people do good deeds because of the heart they have, and that the reason people do bad things is because of their lack of heart.

I personally don't really know much about living the "college life." I have no idea what it is like to get drunk everyday, nor do I want to know. I just don't understand why people continue to harm themselves in this manner. There is no way that this "college life" of partying, drinking, and having mindless sex could make them happy, so why does it take place? Why do I not partake in these activities? Is it because I have common sense - or is it that I am too intelligent to be that stupid with my body?

Another part of having heart is caring for fellow members of society and having compassion for others. I will admit that I preach my values and morals a lot of the time but it is not without reason. You see, I know a lot of people that follow my path in life, they carry themselves with the same respect and morals that I do, they have heart. . It would be easy for me to quit, stop fighting, and become one of them - the heartless establishment - but if I did that, I would hate myself even more than all those heartless people already do
