Mind or the Heart?

This is a very tricky question a lot of us face every day in our lives. Should I quit my job or not? Should I eat this chocolate cake or not? Should I stay with my family or should I go abroad? Should I miss work to be there for a friend or Should I go to work and complete that due project?

Well the latter in all of the above is what our minds would tell us. We are all driven by this convenient term 'practicality' that makes us decision making processes simpler. We have it all figured out. We all think we are so smart and rational. And life's all good that way.

In fact, we even make Decisions related to Love on merit and rationale. What happened to our emotions? Isn’t love just an emotion? So how can we show emotions practically? Is it that we are pretending each day? Or is it just that we have all become robots? Heartless, insensitive and calculative? Or are we just too scared to get hurt?

Well whatever it is. It’s a part of life you know. Love. Happiness. Heartbreak. The sorrow. It teaches you so much. It makes you the person that you are destined to become.

But there’s this thing, how much ever practical we try to be. There will be one day, there will be one person, who will sweep you off your feet. And then all this practicality will go right out of the window. Whether you can be with him or not, that’s again a game of the mind and heart.
