warmth

Description

Warmth is a virtual heater ignited in the mind’s landscape of others. It defrosts the soul just enough, yet excessive heat causes burns of vanity. Unrequested kindness is traded like social currency on the fine line between heartfelt care and patronizing pity. It temporarily melts the frost of relationships but resets the icy timer once its fuel runs out, fickle as the seasons. True warmth sometimes fulfills the paradoxical role of protecting from coldness while wielding the blazing pressure of an emotional firestorm.
