What does it truly mean to be heart broken ?

We have always been told that feelings and emotions of love all come from the heart. When we face hard decisions we are told to follow our heart. But why the heart ? Why not your kidney or your liver ? My liver is broken. Is it that it does not have the same ring to it ?

I question a lot of things a lot of times. Why? Because even though I came and saw it, I still want to know where it came from. Think of the origin of language. Who made it up? Who gave whosoever the right to call the heart the heart and the liver the liver? What if your foot is really your hand and your hand your foot?

Now, back to my original concern. If feelings are of the heart, then what happens if I have a heart transplant? Are the feelings gone? After all its a new heart. No, feelings and emotions are originated in the mind or the brain. But how do you account for a broken heart? Because when one has a broken heart, there is most times some physical feeling in the heart. You may feel like heart contracts. Further to this, when you are in love, you may again feel movements of the heart.

So ultimately, it is your mind that controls every emotion. But then the question arises as to whether one can control their heart by their mind. Specifically, can you choose not to fall in love? Can you tell your heart not to love anymore? It is all contradicting to me because some say you cant control who you love for your heart is in control but your mind controls your heart!

Its just amazing, truly.
