Mind vs. Heart, Logic vs. Feeling

Have you ever noticed that there is an ever-present internal conflict between your mind and your heart? What is it with these two? Don't they know that we don't like our minds to be clouded with confusion? Don't they know that we humans like everything to be completely obvious? We do not like playing the guessing game. However, they do.

There are certain situations that pop up in life that I wish these two could just agree on. Take relationships. For instance, say you are friends with someone, and that is that. Friends only. No other feelings involved. Then one day you wake up and suddenly, everything has changed. What decided this change, we have no idea. But things are just...different.You wonder what to do about these new feelings. Your mind says: Don't do or say anything about the situation. Things are great between you the way they are, telling him (or her) could ruin everything. Than your heart says: Why not say anything? So you like them, big deal. Maybe this is meant to be. Maybe everything will work out. Why not?

So what do you do? Do you side with your mind and logic? Or do you side with your ever-changing heart and feelings? Should you risk everything and place your bet on your heart? Or should you take the safe route and follow your logic? Do you tell the one you like that you indeed like them? Do you risk the safety of your friendship by telling them this? Or do you stay on the safe side and not tell them? Secure your heart from the risk of rejection and heartache, or take a risk and see if it ends in your favor?


Mind or heart? Which do you choose...
