Synopsis..
Plato offered us little the Aristotelians did not take back.
Later Spinoza rationalised our approach;
we were taught that love is an intellectual mode of our being.
Yet Hume questioned the very existence of lover or loved.
The self he left us with was what Kant failed to transcend
or Hegel to dissolve:
that grey subject of dread that Sorren Kierkegaard depicted
crossing its thousands of fathoms;
the beast that rages through history;
that presides smiling at the councils of the positivists.

I am no spinoza, aristotle, kant , hegel, plato, socrates or kierkgaard.
I am just a poor little soul that finds it too difficult, to bear the burden of this fistful of a heart!
Heart, unlike mind, has its own reasons.
And they mostly lie out of the realms of the mind.
But being able to love,
weep,
laugh,
feel joy,
experience satisfaction,
feel anguish,
be able to touch Infinity in those brief moments of ecstasy
is what my heart allows me to do.
What more reasons can one want for its existence?
No amount of analysis and positivist philosophies can trounce the voice of that fistful heart!
