A Steady Heart

Let me ask this question, how many of us played the electronic game Operation and were you able to successfully beat the game by taking out every part of the funny anatomy ailments without getting buzzed/shocked and lighting up Cavity Sam’s red nose? In a sense, that same premise to the game somewhat parallels certain aspects of matters of the heart relating to the single life, especially in the dating scene. In other words, both are considered absolutely nerve racking once you make the decision to take part in it. Essentially, for those living the single life we’re all metaphorically using the tweezer of our own thoughts, feelings, as well as emotions in order to try to gradually remove a number of issues while avoiding unfortunate mistakes in hopes of establishing a truly worthwhile relationship.

As I said before, for those living the single life we’re all metaphorically using the tweezer of our own thoughts, feelings, as well as emotions in order to try to gradually remove a number of issues while avoiding any unfortunate mistakes in hopes of establishing a truly worthwhile relationship. For it's seemingly an easy enough situation indeed to help remove/resolve any past relationship issues to finally let go of, but in actuality are deemed considerably difficult. I think it's safe to say every person has been in or is currently in a situation where one is trying to carefully remove painful issues of past heartbreak pertaining to a guy/girl of interest. For the most part, it takes a tremendous amount of patience knowing you don’t want to end up continually making an utterly shocking mistake, so to speak.

If you think about it, there’s a similarity in the funny ailments you’re trying to remove from the body of Cavity Sam to relationship issues being personally mentally, emotionally, and maybe even spiritually removed pertaining to that certain someone special. Although we don’t use actual tweezers, a single person like myself would utilize the most important “tools” at one’s disposal, which is a listening ear, no preconceived judgment, and helpful advice to provide if asked for. Thinking about it further, if those metaphorical tweezers are used/provided with genuine sincerity without any ulterior motives whatsoever then the issues of anger, hatred, doubt, worry, sadness, frustration, bitterness, disappointment, utter contempt, will hopefully be removed not only gradually, but with utmost patience as well.

Without a doubt, the object of the game for Operation is removing the funny anatomy ailments without getting buzzed/shocked and lighting up Cavity Sam’s red nose? Granted, you don’t replace anything after all the pieces are completely removed. However, when it comes to issues of a past relationship embedded within a guy/girl’s heart one hopes to use the tweezers representing their own heart to gradually remove and patiently replace the issues with the following positive key aspects of importance: trust, faith, integrity, honor, respect, honesty, loyalty, understanding, communication, commitment, etc. What it primarily comes down to is being able to light up and experience the quintessential red nose of positivity rather than experiencing the unfortunate red flags that are considered an absolute annoying buzzkill.

In retrospect, even though there’s a timeless, classic quality when it comes to love/true love it should never be treated as a game. True, there is a tremendous amount of fun to be had when you’re able to properly focus on what matters most in a shared relationship instead of selfishly focusing too much on one’s own needs and wants. Sadly, a person ends up metaphorically hearing and feeling a constant buzzing sound because they’re not taking the relationship seriously as if the human heart was actually a kids game that came out in 1965. In the end, when you eventually meet your reason for true happiness he/she enables you to have a steady heart in which you patiently take your time in carefully removing possible past relationship issues while at the same time filling in the empty spaces of his/her heart.
