Hearts are fragile. They take in all the good, and all of the bad. All of the pain - the pain you experience, you witness.
The pain injures the heart. Forces it to take time to heal. This time is much longer than the time of the pain - weeks, or months later, and even then, shadows remain with the beauty.
A reaction to the pain is to build a cage around your heart. Build it with barbed wire, build it so the weave is small enough to keep the large pains out, but also large enough to let some of the good in.
But there is an inherent problem to this design, as well constructed as it is. The problem is the cage itself.
If you make the weave too small, you do indeed keep the large bad things out. On the other hand, that also prevents the large good things from reaching the heart - it just gets little doses of bad and good, never the heart-wrenching good and bad.
A better way is to strip away the cage. Let the heart experience the good, and the pain, equally.
Yes, the heart will need time to heal. But I think, just maybe, letting the good and the beauty in makes the healing shorter.
