The Heart as a Symbol of Love

The heart has always been the top symbol to represent love. Drawing a heart and placing the symbol of the heart is limited only to those people and things we love. The heart is ever present in important romantic and love-related celebrations such as Valentine’s Day or weddings that even heart wedding favors are gaining more popularity.

The heart has always been the center of human life. Without the heart or when the heart stops beating, it signals the end of life for a person. As with love, people feel that their life only starts when love is present in their lives. When a relationship ends or when love fades, some people also feel that it is as though their life ended as well.

At the start of love, people feel as if their heart is beating faster because of the joy and excitement they feel when seeing or being with the person they love. This heartbeat of course can be linked and traced to the heart. If a relationship is ending or when a person feels hurt because of a lost love, it is also the heart that feels it among all the other human body parts. The heart feels a certain ache that can only be associated with a fleeing love, and the pain also causes the person to cry so much or feel so much that their breathing becomes shallow and fast. This sensation can medically be linked to the heart, thus the term heartache or heartbreak is used.

A person with a healthy heart can do so many things and feel as if nothing can stop him. They don’t get sick and can do all physical activities that they want to. A happy heart when it comes to love can do the same thing as well. People full of love can feel as if they can do so many things because not only are they physically healthy, but the emotional motivation will drive them to do many things.

The heart has always been a symbol of love and always will be. It would be hard to imagine associating love with the stomach or the pancreas, but the heart will indeed always represent the same things that love does. Love can make you feel as if you are on the top of the world, and a healthy, happy heart can make it possible in many different ways.
