I Love Miscellaneous Morbidity

Heartbreak. The worst word in the English language. It inspires fear, pain, anguish and hopelessness in anyone who has the unfortunate circumstance as to encounter it. Yet it is something that is felt daily by anyone in the World who has something to lose.

I've been thinking about heartbreak, and I think we should call it heartstones.

Without doubt, there are levels of severity of heartstones. But, still, far more people recover from heartstones than recover from covid-19.

There are some heartbreaks I can't even bring myself to think about, and maybe we should reserve heartbreak for those situations.

For the majority of us, though, "heartbreak" is like kidney stones. It is appallingly painful, but rarely is it fatal.
