St. Augustine says in his Confessions "Behold, the ears of my heart are before thee, O Lord; open them and say to my soul, I am your salvation."
I stopped after I read this, and a small part of me said, now thats interesting. Whether or not choose to think of it in these semi-religious terms (such as salvation, Lord ect.) for whatever reason our souls continuously express the need to be saved. The "eyes of our hearts" are endlessly looking for this something to save us. Why?
This is the pervasive hallmark of man--His constant discontentment and hunger for something more; feelings of enslavement and methods of saving himself.
