I can honestly say that love is in my heart.....always.
Sometimes, people make fun of me because I genuinely love....and I don't mean a romantic love....I simply love people, nature, life, etc.
If they don't get it, that's their problem.

Sometimes i think i am evil in my heart..
No you're not (evil that is) - you have love too - think of your daughter and your new baby :haha: - every now and then I will get some negative thoughts in my heart, going over something from the past, but then I tell myself to just cut that out!

Focus on love and hope. To me it is just like Sunny said - if other people do not understand, that is okay. Just carry on with your life doing what you know is right.

Fierce love for my friends & family. Kindness--I've made a lot of mistakes, so I try not to judge too harshly. An emptiness that I've been fighting for at least 30 years. Fear for my daughter. I can't find my peace lately, but I'll get there again.

I don't know how accurate I can see my own self, my heart. I dunno how much the "media" influences me but I do try to resist being brainwashed. I do this by trying to practice critical thinking...

Critical thinking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That aside, I know in my heart is an ingrained determination for integrity on the job; I have a major work ethic issue, which coupled with my temperament toward perfectionism causes me anxiety in life, especially in terms of a job. I'm having to learn to say "oh well" easier. My temperament includes the love and need of others, which includes a need for their love and acceptance of me. I tend not to feel loved even when I from an intellectual point know I am. So, I tend to strive to please others.

I know I tend to expect from others a high standard, but from no one else as much as I do from myself. I tend to assume that my way of doing a thing is the only or at least the best way. I'm more mellow in these ways than I used to be, due to having gained wisdom, I assume, which tells me that some things aren't nearly as important or are at least as much so as others: others' thoughts, ideas, and feelings are at least as important as mine.

I've been humbled in life by love. It's shown me that I can't make it happily by myself. This too comes with emotional maturity, wisdom.

Oh yeah, I can see some of myself in there, definitely.

Frank, from what I've seen--you have a good, kind heart... :)
