Two Hearts

The Japanese word for heart in the romantic sense is kokoro.
In the medical sense, the Japanese word for heart is  sinzou.

   Each of has two hearts within us - the one that beats and the one that loves. Listen to this beautiful and relaxing  piano music called "Koko" by the artist Ryuichi Sakamoto.


"The original title was meant to be kokoro (heart). Sakamoto himself said that at a concert."

The Native Americans also believed there are two hearts within us. Read this story below about the Two Wolves.

A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson. He said, “I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, discontented one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate, happy and contented one.” The grandson asked him, “Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?” The grandfather answered: “The one I feed.”
