"The Most Beautiful Heart"
One day a young man was
standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful
heart in the whole valley.
A large crowd gathered and they all admired his
heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it. Yes, they all
agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen.
The young man was very proud and boasted more
loudly about his beautiful heart.
Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the
crowd and said, "Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine."
The crowd and the young man looked at the old
man's heart. It was beating strongly... but full of scars. It had places where
pieces had been removed and other pieces put in ... but they didn't fit quite
right and there were several jagged edges.
In fact, in some places there were deep gouges
where whole pieces were missing. The people starred ... how could he say his
heart is more beautiful, they thought?
The young man looked at the old man's heart and
saw its state and laughed "You must be joking," he said.
"Compare your heart with mine... mine is perfect and yours is a mess of
scars and tears."
"Yes," said the old man, "Yours is
perfect looking... but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar
represents a person to whom I have given my love….I tear out a piece of my
heart and give it to them ... and often they give me a piece of their heart which
fits into the empty place in my heart... but because the pieces aren't exact, I
have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we
shared. Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away... and the other person
hasn't returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the empty gouges...
giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay
open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too... and I hope
someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see
what true beauty is?"
The young man stood silently with tears running
down his cheeks. He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect young
and beautiful heart and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with
trembling hands.
The old man took his offering, placed it in his
heart and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the
wound in the young man's heart. It fit.... but not perfectly, as there were
some jagged edges.
The young man looked at his heart, not perfect
anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart
flowed into his. They embraced and walked away side by side.
Physical perfection is not always beautiful.
