Heart

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

So, I did some checking because I was wondering why we draw hearts like this since that's not what they look like.  Apparently, the type of heart in the photo above looks like a silphium seed which used to be used way back in the day as a contraceptive.

I think we draw it this way because it's way easier to draw.
