Lonely hearts grieving. Unsatisfied hearts touching, pure hearts giving. Seekers become touchers, touchers become seekers, but few ever become givers, for the giver carries the greatest burden. Lonely hearts in need, they seek the givers for the warmth and compassion, for somehting to fill their void. Unsatisfied hearts in limbo, they seek the givers to break the chains of monotony, to grant them their wishes. Ponder why the giver is often the most lonely, often the most unsatisfied, with both groping for him. Often the giver seeks someone of his own fashioning. Looking is lonely, touching wrongly unsatisfying; thus the giver becomes all three. But once idea is found, two hearts become satisfied.
