"No more apologies for a bleeding heart when the opposite
is no heart at all. Danger of losing our humanity must
be met with more humanity."
Toni Morrison
There was a time when being called a bleeding heart was meant to be an insult. It was a criticism for caring deeply about something that perhaps was not socially acceptable. It depicted a person who had not only thought about justice, but took action to support it. A bleeding heart tended to be filled with passion.
As an individual grows into his or her self, they are more likely to embrace a heavy emotional make up. Caring can be crafted into a skill that enables a fellow human being to pursue a search towards acceptance, enhancement, and success. Being sensitive can be a technique used to find guidance and the pathway home.
A person labeled a bleeding heart is not found at the top of the career ladder, puffed with self-gratification. He or she is the person at the bottom of the ladder, steadying it while encouraging others to climb. They are a magnet pulling others together to better the world with individual magnitude.
