Broken hearts or broken faith?

I received a forwarded text message from a friend the other day.
It simply said,

"hearts don't really break, nobody gets to break a heart and no one can, because hearts after the wildest storms survive and will always stay intact. When you feel pain the region of your heart, it's not the heart that's breaking, something else does: FAITH and then you stop believing."

I guess the term "heart broken" was used metaphorically to describe the hurt or pain that one felt when they have their faith thwarted and then, that person stops believing in love which make it harder for us to trust other people and ourselves with it.

A lot of people use the word "LOVE" loosely, I for one say it a lot, especially when I really like something or someone immensely. A lot of us forget the importance and meaning of the word since it is easier to verbalize than to show or act out, in the end, most of us take saying "i love you" for granted.

I cannot negate the fact that verbal communication is relevant to us human beings, often times though verbalizing an emotion or a feeling is not enough, you see, not everyone is equipped with a vocabulary to match the number of islands in our country be it high tide or low tide.

I think it's time to go back to the basics of it and learn to love like a child, unadulterated, just like how they know they're loved unconditionally by their mothers and how they love them back the same way.
