“The heart wants what it wants or else it does not care”

Emily Dickinson

Simplified Meaning:

The quote means that when someone really desires something, they will go after it no matter what. Our feelings and desires can be very strong, and if we don't truly want something, we won't really care about it. For example, think about children choosing toys. If a child really wants a specific toy, they will do everything they can to get it. They might beg, save up their allowance, or do extra chores. However, if the toy doesn't really interest them, they won't put in the effort. In real life, this means following your true passions and desires can lead to dedication and hard work. If you don’t feel strongly about something, it’s okay to let it go. This idea can help people make better decisions by focusing on what truly matters to them.
