Why would your reply alienate me?

I think what I was saying is that I think it is possible for my heart to deceive me because of my own fears or needs and I like to think there is something more honest in me that helps me avoid listening to my self-deceptions.

The only reason I made the comment is because, both of us as writers, have concentrated a lot of it on souls (I do not differentiate between spirits and souls, as I do not have a clear mental definition to guide me).
