To me the heart is susceptible to  harm or offense and this never seems to quit.

I can recall how my heart is affected by the sentient things.

A person has to battle or conquer things within or it will overcome them.

Peace and Woe are both internal matters

that affect our attention span,state of mind and train of thought.

We each have no time for distractions and obstacles

because we have things to achieve and things to do.
