"Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life." (Proverbs 4:23; New King James)

Here's the thing, not many of us can afford others' nonsense of contempt and other malicious frills.

See, we need all the mental health we can get, so that our minds are in a place to learn marketable skills,

As those are needed to earn an honest living and pay bills.

If our minds are shot, are we guaranteed that someone will step in for us and pay for all the therapists' sessions, potions, prescriptions and pills?

So, no doubt about it, guard your psychological heart, for if someone runs up in your life, and say, your confidence and sense of self kills,

What foundation do you have to launch off of in becoming a fruitful, functioning member of society?

You don't, and it then seems that you'll have to head for the hills.
