Heart Over Mind

Just a quick thought

  

I am always hearing

Mind over matter,

But sometimes I wonder

In the end

Does the mind matter?

When it comes to love

It don’t know jack.

The word compassion

Is like a foreign land.

It analytical ideas

Only hinder humanity.

Maybe we would be better off

If the heart ruled the mind.

I've often given the advice that only when the heart and the mind agree can you find true happiness. But that can be taken too far. Analyzing feelings or, worse, trying to analyze those of another, can be a recipe for hurt, disappointment, and disaster. Sometimes you do have to tell the mind to be quiet and listen to the heart. Well written.

I thought the heart did rule the mind. Mine does, I think. Now you have me wondering. I know a lot of times I base decisions on how I feel about a matter instead of the facts. I do it a lot. And I have paid for it a lot also. Could it be that I am looking at life through the wrong binoculars???? I like your words Rock, they are always good.

Let my heart rule my mind? At times thats really hard to do, at times I kinda just melt but end up pulling back because my mind(the analyst) talks my heart into it. (depending on the situation)

This got me thinking!

You know honestly my heart usually over takes my mind. It is just as hard that way as well. I guess the saying goes the grass is always greener on the other side ofthe pasture. The mind prohibits the heart at times inhibits. Great piece. Very well written
