People used to think that the heart was the seat of all
emotion. It's pretty easy to see why -- many people respond to their
emotions as if their brains were turned off. In this "enlightened" age, we
know that the brain produces our emotions, just as it produces almost every
other thing of value to the human experience. I try to keep that in mind
constantly -- why short-change my brain by acting as if the wellspring of
feeling is in a metaphorical heart that is totally blocked off to reason?
To me, that is what being "Heartless" is all about. I don't let my
"heart" lead me around. It's not that I suppress my feelings -- it's just
that I am the one in charge. I try to use my entire brain to make
choices. The fact that those choices are predicated on what will be good
for me rather than what might be good/bad for a friend/lover/random person/the
world at large is what makes me a Bitch. Sometimes what is good for me is
helping out other people, but I'm not in the market to be a martyr. I also
have no desire to cause suffering in others. What good would it do
me? I don't get off on drama -- I get off on contentment.
