We put a lot of stock in how we feel. Yet, the one thing sure about emotions is that they change. How can anyone rely on something so undependable?
Feelings come and go as they wish. In a matter of moments, one can go from happy to sad. A firm decision cannot be made on such unstable ground.
The heart feels what should be done. However, the head must determine the means to do it. Things are more apt to work when the two work together.
Those who focus on feelings tend to get tossed about. Around they go, not knowing where they might stop. Be sure it will not be where they intended.
To think oneself into a corner is easily done. The only way out is to look within. There you will find that the beat of one's heart has no need for reason.
Thinking and feeling both have their place. Fools neglect the former, and without the latter you are dead inside. Only as a team can they succeed.
Indeed, we shouldn't be controlled by our feelings nor should we turn into logical machines. To be human is to be mindful of both thoughts and feelings.

ReplyDeleteIt is important to point these things out. Many people think with their heart and feel with their head. What they get for it is trouble.
