WARNING: CONTENTS MAY BE EXTREMELY HOT

When we're growing up, there are some things that our parents prohibit us from. Driving cars, using the stove, pushing the lawnmower, etc. They don't allow us to to use these things, because they are dangerous. When I would pick up a knife, my mother would say "Be careful. That's really sharp, it could cut you." When my mother would open the oven to take out our supper, she would say "Step back, this is really hot. You could get burned." But as we grow, never do our parents sit us down and warn us "This is your heart, and if you're not careful, it can really fuck you up. You know, just FYI."
