The Most Beautiful heart ❤️

One day , in a heavily crowded place , A young man began shouting .

" people , look at me . I have the most beautiful heart in the world . Many people looked at him and were stunned to see his beautiful heart in a perfect shape , without any flaw . It looked quite amazing . Most of the people who saw his heart were mesmerized by the beauty of his heart , and praised him . However , there came an old man who challenged the young man , "No my son , I have got the most beautiful heart in the world!" The young man asked him , " show me your heart , then!"

The old man showed his heart to him . It was very rough , uneven , and hard scars all over . In addition , the heart was not in shape ; it appeared like bits and pieces joined in various colors . There were so rough edges; some parts were removed , and fitted with other pieces.

The young man start laughing , and said , "My dear old man are you mad , see , my heart! how beautiful and flawless it is . You can't find even a bit of imperfection us my heart. see , yours ? It is full of scars , wounds , and blemishes. How can you say your heart is beautiful?"

"Dear boy , my heart is just as beautiful as your heart is . Did you see the scars? Each scar represents the love I shared with a person . I share a piece of my heart with others when I share love , and in return I get a piece of heart , which I fix at the place from where I have torn a piece!" Sad the old man .

The young man was shocked.

The old man continued , "since the pieces of heart I shared were neither nor in the same shape or size , my heart is full of uneven edges and bits and pieces . My heart is not in shape because sometimes I don't get love in return from those to whom I gave it . Your heart that looks fresh and full with no scars indicates that you never shared love with anybody . Isn't that true?"

The young man stood still and did not speak a word . Tears rolled down his cheeks . He walked to the old man , tore a piece of his heart and give the piece to the old man.

Many give importance and respect to the physical beauty . yet , real beauty is not physical!
