The heart never learns

For the the heart is giving as an outpouring of love, and the emotional attachments in how close people can become, with all the loss, the regret, and all that constitutes the heartbreak that tears one apart, and that peculiar pain of love unrequited - and the unbearable compassion in empathy for the suffering child - these greatest pains in life teach the mind something, make one a bit wiser, but the heart learns nothing. It is so mindless in its loving, always giving, pouring out its endless purity, affection and compassion, bemusing the mind completely, as no one can say what love is.
