Heart

People believed for a long time that the heart was the center of a persons emotions. That is why
the heart is used in so many expressions about emotional situations.
One such expression is to lose your heart to someone. When that happens, you have fallen in
love. But if the person who won your heart does not love you, then you are sure to have a broken
heart. In your pain and sadness, you may decide that person is hard-hearted, and in fact, has a heart of
stone.
You may decide to pour out your heart to a friend. Telling someone about your personal
problems can often make you feel better.
If your firend does not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is, you may ask him to
have a heart. You are asking him to show some sympathy, to understand how improtant all this is to you.
Your friend has his heart in the right place if he says he is sorry, and shows great concern for your
situation.
He may, however, warn you not to wear your heart on your sleeve. In other words, do not let
everyone see how lovesick you are. When your heart is on your sleeve, you are showing your deepest
emotions.
If your friend says, my heart bleeds for you, then he is a cold-hearted person who does not really
care about his friend. What he is really saying is that his heart does not bleed for you. He is uncaring.
Let us turn from affairs of the heart or matters of love, to some other heart expressions about
other emotions, courage for example.
The word courage come from the Latin word cor meaning heart. Someone who is lacking
courage is said to lack heart.
You could say that the cowardly lion was chicken-hearted. That is another way of describing
someone who is not very brave. A chicken is not known for its bravery. Thus, someone who is chicken-
hearted is not very brave or bold.
When you are frightened or concerned, your heart is in your mouth. You might say, for exemple,
that your heart was in your mought when you asked the bank for more money.
If the banks says no to you, do not lose heart. Be strong-hearted. Go to the bank. Sit down
with the banker an have a heart to heart talk. Be open an honest. Explain your situation.
As a result of this meeting, the bank may have a change of heart. It may agree to lend you the
money. This would put your heart at rest. You could stop worrying.
