L-O-V-E
When love is involved, which should you follow, your mind or your heart? Which one should rule? Or should it be synergised? Why is love also known as “matters of the heart”? Why is it that when love is involved, the mind becomes blinded? I think love is just unexplainable. Maybe this is why the very same love that could make you very happy could also make you miserable. I’m not just talking about feelings of love for another person, but it could also perhaps love of other things i.e. maybe bags etc but then that should be in a shopaholic themed blog. Just a random thought of mine...

ReplyDeleteheh, i'm no stranger to this battle between the mind and heart too. our consolation should be that we're all only humans.
strange thing though is, sometimes after making a decision, i can't quite identify which was it i followed.
it's like while the two can tear you apart with different thoughts, sometimes they're actually more synchronised that you give them credit for.
i agree. love is unexplainable. in fact, that is the sole reason that makes it beautiful.
love is a mystery. you almost never realise when and how it starts but when it ends, you just know it.
in the love vs logic argument, for my case the former always wins. but unfortunately, it doesnt always lead to victorious end results.
ReplyDeleteits true sometimes we can lose simple common sense over this emotion... i guess this is why they have the phrase "power of love"

I can't help but just nod as i read your poppers :)
ReplyDeleteL-O-V-E, oh what do we all know about it, right? It comes in different shapes, forms, sizes, colours, smiles, prayers, kisses, words, almost anything you can imagine. I've concluded for myself, to love is not to reason. And love never really has a reason. When we love something or someone, we just do. We don't need reason to love, nor does love need any reason. It's a feeling. It's here(touches the heart).
Somewhere in this process, the mind suddenly reappears to remind you - 'hey you, don't forget me!'. And there you go - we start to justify or give explanations to certain things which never did require any of those. When we need to rationalise love, then at best what we can have is a relationship. Someone once shared this previous line with me, till today it's tattoed in me.
I guess, it's a habit to think after we feel. Sometimes that spoils the pure beauty of a simple sensation called 'F-E-EL'. Special things behold unexplainable understanding. Sometimes the tendency to think too much is pretty high on the scale, then it becomes a bloody pain and a tumour at the back of our mind. So I quit thinking when i'm feeling, especially when in love, still loving or loved before. It never made any sense in the first place.
I thought I could rationalise so that I know how to justify what I'm doing or why I'm feeling this and that. Is it because of hidden insecurity, just a habit or guilt of not using the brain, or whatever it may be - I gave up, it doesn't matter.
So some will say, I'm being naive or don't be stupid by letting your emotions get over you, and be driven to a state madness. Some will say, love is blind or love only sees what it wants to see. Sometimes, it's darn tiring to always hear what others have to say. Well, i've learnt and want to trust my heart. If it fails me, so be it. Get up and walk again. And, I don't mean to completely leave behind the mind totally, of course.
Now now now, Hearties, this perpetual war between mind and heart; reasoning and feeling; logic and sense, rationale and baseless; and what-have-you, shall be a whole lifetime affair it seems! I may have been through the thickest of such battle that it almost drove me completely nuts, it bashes me to the bone, and gooossshhhh i was like the world's most miserable-looking-thing! I'm better now (or so i believe). It can be depressing because you're constantly fighting with that inner voice of both the heart and mind. Can u imagine when two voices are trying to compete for your attention at the same time, and justifying to you why one is superior than the other? It's insane!
Try listening to 'Have you ever been in love' by Celine Dion. I love it. - Vanilla
