a couple of posts back (more specifically september 8th, 2003), i posted a topic about the mind and the heart. whether you read it or not, here is the now of my story.
it's been almost a month since that post. many have given me their input, all of them have been helpful. but most helpful was the combination of all of them, what is now my viewpoint.
one person told me, "i am a mind person. dealing with emotions with the heart prolong your decision or conclusion." and i'm sure it does, because figuratively speaking, mind speaks objectively, heart thinks emotionally.
another person told me, "stick with your heart. while the mind sees your problems and adds more, the heart is pure." sure, that seems believable to me, too.
yet another person said, "find the balance in between the two extremes." and i stuck with this one.
you can't be both a mind and a heart person, so i decided to pick neither. by not picking sides, i'm willing to listen from both directions, equally. in doing so, i've found the so-called balance of both sides. whether such place exists matters not; i'm just content with finding my own definition.
and cutting this short, i just want to end with one sentence. it may have a bigger impact on some people i know.
my mind and heart finally concur.
