The heart: a machine of wonder and awe. For centuries it
was shrouded in mystery by the unknown. Primitive men attempted to fill that
obscurity with superstitions—some still endure up to this day. It has been
widely associated with love—with passion. But what it really is—is an organic
engine that keeps us alive. Each pulse it creates makes one stronger. And each
accidental or deliberate attempt to corrupt it makes one weaker. It has already
started beating since long before a person is born. It does not stop, it does
not rest—it just continues to beat on until the last moment of life.
