[bodytext] => I was a rich tycoon who was obsessed with greed. 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.
