Is it not true this statement? I think it is very true indeed. Just like the song that was sung by Madonna long time ago, "Frozen", a closed heart is certainly hell for oneself and the others around him or her.

However, there are some circumstances that induces a closed heart, which in turn becomes the agony and despair of others. I think i too had a closed heart beforehand, rejecting anything out of my heart... Admit ably, it was not a pleasant feeling, and it hurt my acquaintance as well...

But what happens when the heart is open to all situations all there: pain, agony, hurt, cruelty?? Is that why some people chose to shut their hearts off? Perhaps they had had enough of agony thrown upon them that they would rather shut it off forever?

Maybe people are just fragile; they just could not bear the pain... Perhaps they did not know that with pain, then you will happiness?
