Heart and Mind

The heart and mind as i understand it from my very own life is as such.

The mind responds more to carnal instincts and reacts to the immediate and basic needs of mankind. food, shelter, water,clothing, sex, entertainment. Just as an animal kills instinctively for food, the mind often behaves rashly in times of need or trouble. just as an animal doesnt stop to think of the pain of the other animal that satisfies its hunger, the mind often doesnt realise the repurcussions and implications of its actions or thoughts. i would go to the extent of saying that the mind reflects the animal in man.

The heart, on the other hand, i believe forms the humane part of man. the heart stops to consider and to feel. The heart questions. and it answers. the heart sets us apart from the beasts of the wild. atleast its supposed to lol. when the heart interferes in the matters of the mind, ethics is born. and so begins a war btw whats necessary and whats right.

ive crossed many such junctures in my life. where the heart and the mind part ways. but its up to us to make them meet at a midpoint and have a balance of both whats necessary and whats right. for this is a world in an era where absolutes dont exist.
