Heart vs Mind

----------------------------


If we would let our hearts rule our actions, would we be so impulsive? Of course, we would do anything whatever our hearts desire. But if we would let our minds control our behavior, would we be happy because we would tend to rationalize everything? Most of the times reasons and emotions are not on the same side. Would we do what we feel or follow what we think? Kaya ang buhay minsan ay very confusing. Di natin alam kung ano susundin, esp. when it comes to our love life.

Heart(napalundag): Dude ang crush ko!!! Papunta dito sa inupuan ko. Anong gagawin ko??? Nasaan na ba itong panyo ko. Okay ba hitsura ko?
Mind(nakaismid): Oi gago! Kelan ka ba matuto ha? As if papansinin ka naman ng gaga na yan.
Heart: Haayyyy...ang cute talaga niya!
Mind: Cute nga. Cute din 'yang boyfriend niya.
Heart(parang kinirot): Ba't na lang di kaya ako ang nobyo niya?
Mind: 'Wag ka nang mangarap na gising. Hala, balik sa pag-aaral mo. May exam pa mamaya.
Heart: Ba't ba lagi ka na lang epal, ha?
Mind: epal ba 'yang pinapaalalahanan lang kita. Nangangarap ka sa taong di ka naman kilala. Dude, remember what happened in the past?
Heart: You're always against me. Alam mo ba kung ano ang ginagawa natin kay Self? Kaya hayun tuloy. Na-confused siya lagi. Dahil ikaw, lagi kang kontrabida...
Mind: Ako pa ngayon ang kontrabida?!? Ako nga lang itong nagpaalala. Baka naman gusto ni Self na luluha ulit? Anong nangyari doon sa previous crush n'yo? Di ba ginawa ka lang na gago?
Heart: Sobra ka talaga. But hindi ka na lang maging masaya para kay Self ha? Puro na lang kung anu-ano iniisip mo. Di ba sinunod naman ni Self 'yong payo mo two years ago. Anong nangyari din? Hayun, pinakawalan ni Self ang taong pinakamamahal niya.

Oftentimes, we don't know what choices to make kung conflicting ang ating pag-iisip at pakiramdam. For example, if you have to make a choice between the following and you have to choose one & only one, what would it be?

Who would you rather be with?
a. be with someone you love who doesn't love you back; or
b. be with someone who loves you but whom you doesn't love

Love is also making decisions. Who to keep, when to let go, when to fight. The choice we make may not keep us happy, but we know that somehow it is the right thing to do. And sometimes that in itself is enough.
