Never let the mind rule your heart

We all humans have a heart which has emotions and a mind inside our brain which is rational in nature. Heart is physical but emotions are abstract, similarly brain is physical yet mind is an abstract reality. Let me explain my view point on it by citing the following example: There is Law in the world and also there is Justice given to all of us. The law is based on rationality and justice is based on empathy which emanates from emotions.

Like if a person steals a loaf of bread from a shop for his dying son suffering from hunger, he is a thief in the eyes of law and be subjected to punishment accordingly. But justice demands that the judge pronouncing a decree should look into consideration the possibility of eliminating the reasons behind this injustice. There is very thin line of demarcation between rationally emotional and emotionally rational. So one has to strike a balance between the two to end up in right judgement.

Your Mind is very good with logic and it understands the situation practically. So if you want to take decision which involves calculations such as profit/loss. Make best use of your Mind. Whereas on the flip side of the coin, your heart is very good with emotions therefore use your heart when you are involved in love, affection and family. But don’t use calculator to calculate happiness out of it.

However ironically it's just the mind and not your heart which forms the opinions. I understand in what sense you have said that. I believe that we are always divided amongst two things, one which is the right thing and we know it, but is causing us pain and the other is the wrong thing. When this point becomes clear, you now just have to choose between the right and the wrong and that totally depends on you and your morals.

I think one governing upon the other should be balanced. There are many cases in your life your mind says not to do, but you do them by listening to your heart just as when you decide to leave emotions behind about a certain thing. There may be specific situations when you should yield to the heart instead of brain pr vice versa. However, if knowing always when to do that would make us the humans species without mistakes. We wouldn't be humans anymore. Otherwise we rather would be robot-like individuals.

Here we have to options available of which one risky and other one is safer. The risky option lures you to make a quick online purchase. Whereas heart is the most powerful intelligence in our body. Heart is great and its loves deeply and unconditional but our brain is what makes the decision that need to be made. Stay blessed! #kishoreshintre #possessedbywritingspirit #ks1100articles
