Harmony

What happens when the head starts ruling over the heart? Head is strong, logical, reasonable and deals in fact. There are some situations in life where if the head didn't rule over the heart, people would get hurt. Yet, at times, we need to take action without needing approval of the head. Brain is limited, but powerful, heart is limitless and powerless. When we let our love rule, we let the heart take over our logic, we let go of judgement. We turn into someone who is accepting, forgiving and kind.

Seeing a beggar on the street, logically, it would be appropriate to just ignore and walk away- after all logical rules that if you help him, you are encouraging him to beg. Yet, the heart questions, would I still be called human if I can just walk away without remorse seeing someone in such distress? 

The balance between using our brain and heart is delicate. We humans tend to focus more on intelligence than matters of heart, often forgetting that it is the heart that differentiates us from the robots. Encouraging people to be more empathetic, is possible only when we come out of our cocoon of self-importance. Only when we expand our ego to include others can we feel other people's pain. Empathizing is what keeps us real and connected to other human beings.

Let the heart rule over the brain , as long as it takes into account other people's pain and happiness. Selfish decisions callous of other people's feelings are just that - selfish. Decisions taken from heart are supposed to be inclusive of other people, because rash decisions leads to momentary happiness, which  often ends in  long term regrets and pain.
