The story of a broken heart

This is a one of a kind story, a story which, unlike most, is narrated using only one paragraph consisting of eight lines and 129 words. Notwithstanding its undersize, it represents the reality of human nature, the fact that this nature grows within individuals. Human nature in itself does not change, but what changes are the everyday concerns which people become aware of while growing older. The story purely symbolizes a life-learnt lesson:

It’s funny how when we’re young, we learn to be cautious not to break a foot or a hand while playing. Although we try our very best not to trip and cause the pain to ourselves, we get pulled by the happiness and joy the moment brings with, which distracts us and blurs the cautiousness we had in mind. But as we grow older, we come to know that it’s neither the hand nor the foot that causes the pain when broken, but rather the heart, and so, we try our very best to protect our hearts from hurting, except that, just like we were during our childhood, drifted by the moment which overlooks the possibility of negative consequences, we expose our hearts to impairment without even realizing it.
