CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A figure of speech, where "heart" does not refer to the actual muscle, but to our emotional centre. It goes back to ancient misconceptions about human physiology, as people used to think that the heart held pretty much all of the functions that are actually associated with the brain.
A "longing heart", then, is synonymous with yearning, craving, or indeed: longing (without the "heart" added).
Interestingly enough, the German noun that expresses the same sentiment is "Sehnsucht", which would literally translate as something like "pine-addiction", or "yearn-dependency", although it originally meant something along the lines of "love-sickness".

thank you for your generous response. Emotional centre, seems an appropriate terminology...what is the "emotional centre"? On that same line, what is "homesickness"?
