Value of a Broken Heart - An Answer to Mycroft

by sswiftstrike

After watching S02E01 of "Sherlock", I was struck by what Mycroft said. An attempt to offer a reason to refute his argument.

Value of a Broken Heart: An Answer to Mycroft1

All life ends. All hearts lie broken.

Caring is not an advantage.

And yet, hearts are made to be broken.

Dying with an unbroken heart,

Is dying without having lived.

1 Lines 1 and 2 are taken from the S02E01 of "Sherlock" from BBC, spoken by the character Mycroft.
