The invisible heart of virtue

A heart of gold they say? How foolish is the heart of gold! A heart of gold is surely for the average man, is that not so? Well for the superior man, a heart of gold does not suffice, for a heart of gold implies another man's ideals. Thus, we must strive for the heart of encrypting invisible virtues. "Invisible virtues?" the fool exclaims in outrage, "what good is a heart of invisible virtue?" Well my friend, invisible virtues are truly the concrete foundation of the superior man. Untouched, disobedient, these virtues pay no heed to the pointless. These values embrace humanity to it's fullest. For what negative can arise from embracing humanity? To be in love with people. People from around the globe, feeling and sharing the journey of life. This invisible heart of virtue is so much more full than following the heed. For what good are laws unless they are the laws inscribed in one's heart?

Who is the more sincere loving man? The man who, through experience and loss, chaos and rejuvenation acquires a certain value OR the fool whom has no idea of his ideals and begrudgingly pays heed for another man's value? Tell me brother, whom would you trust with your life?

Surely we have the ultimate gift of self-definition and self-ownership. We own our own souls????? We own our own destiny, our beliefs, our love and our life. Surely there is no justice in pressuring another human into an essence that is predetermined from old fashioned cultural norms. Humans should be given the right to determine our own essence. I will tell you something, my friend, now listen for a lioness is about to roar. Insecurity plagues all. They say "money is the root of all evil" or "religion is the root of all evil", but I will shout out that it is man's each and own insecurities that shape intrinsic and extrinsic war. Man is an insecure beast. Predetermined values that are useless, yet many still swear by - cater to extinguish some of the pain these insecurities cause. Do not reject your insecurities by creating extrinsic values, embrace them, within your heart for they will be healed. Do not run!

Once the superior man's heart has cleansed itself of it's impure insecurities, cannot it then say it is an invisible heart of virtues?
