I wanted more and more money even though it was something I didn/'/t need.
Something happened to me and I/'/d like to explain how but I can/'/t.
My personality completely changed after I had a heart transplant.
Instead of wanting to make more money, I/'/m giving money to the poor.
Things completely changed after my operation, I/'/m nothing like I was before.
I own four apartment buildings and I was a slumlord.
The tenants hated me, I wasn/'/t a man who they adored.
The apartments weren/'/t fit to live in but I had all of them repaired.
In the past, I didn/'/t give a damn about my tenants but now I care.
Before I got my new heart, I was a taker but now I/'/m a giver.
I closed my textile plant that dumped toxic waste in the river.
I learned that my new heart came from a man who was only twenty years old.
Before he died of cancer, he was the salt of the earth with a heart of gold.
He gave money to charities and always put his needs before the needs of others.
When I got his heart, I also got his personality and I think of all men as brothers.
I don/'/t know how this happened but there is one thing that I do understand.
I/'/ve become a very good person because I received the heart of a good man.

You gotta wonder if there is any truth to something like this. That part of that person carries over to the recipient. Or if it is just the near death experience that make a person change...
