Its funny how, the mind usually manages to filter through a web of emotions quite easily....yet the heart always clouds our judgement.
Why is it that most humans...social civilised beings as we may be.....tend to forget how simplistic life could be if one approached matters of the heart logically? ......but then it wouldn't be any fun would it?
If life were to only be a series of logical conclusions then there wouldn’t be much in it...humans as it is are an inherently romantic species; by which I mean the virtues of curiosity, angst anger, yearning, even humour for that matter.
were we not capable of human "emotions" as we know them...we wouldn’t be much of a species to speak of...where would the arts lie?...who then, would've created the history as we know it today?
If it wasn’t for emotion...there wouldn’t be a Hitler or Caesar or Cleopatra even.....true accompanying their hearts were some of the strongest minds of their times, a razor edge logical approach that led to fine strategising and victories. Yet, the driving force behind their intellects was their hearts....their will, their need and desire to possess that which they were seeking with their every being.
so where does that bring us?....are we meant to find the superior of the two?...will there ever be a place where the heart and mind shall work as one?...who's to say which is the better?...while some say the heart makes us weak.....others argue that working with the mind alone can make us blind sighted, unable to notice the nuances of a situation.
the dilemma continues and shall do so...personally I’d prefer it that way....they say the mind gives you the answers that we often don’t wish to face while the heart might make it easier to get around the truth....I am often content to reside in the denial my heart offers me at times....the mind however, knows no such mercy; yet sometimes it is better to rip the proverbial band aid off than to continue fussing over a festering wound.
so how does one explain rationalisations?...it may be assumed that the heart is surely at play in the construction of a comfortable reality....yet wouldn’t it also be safe to assume that the mind too would be party to this process of construction in order to make it logically plausible?
So is there really an answer to this question...or is it merely a voice of the heart that the mind shall continue to argue with?
Ponder......while my heart makes my mind wander.....
