This is totally coming off the top of my head. So if it's half-baked, wrong, or maybe too emotional (which is part of the point), that's why.

OK, well. I definitely have no idea how to start this. Time to jump.

So there's three parts to any human. Body, Mind, and Heart. I don't think a soul really plays into this essay or whatever, if you believe in it. Since I'm not really talking about sex, and the body doesn't make many decisions beyond that, we'll leave out the body, too.

Decision making. The heart and mind. Here's what I've deducted, which many might actually take for granted. Well, it's interesting to me.

There's quirks to everything; cons and pros, loss and profit, upsides and down. Let me count the good sides of the heart and mind.

The heart is hopeful and caring, among other things that are lost to my mind. Compassionate. The mind is almost the exact opposite. It's efficient, logical, and will come to a conclusion that makes sense, no matter what.

It's been widely understood, I think, that the mind and heart don't get along. They come to different conclusions. They disagree. In fact, people can simultaneously act on two different choices, and they just can't decide what choice to go with. It's silly.

I don't think it's possible to completely ignore your heart or mind, nor is it wise. You'd end up a crying buffoon or a cold monster. But you CAN weigh different decisions differently. They way I'd go about it is, go more by your heart than your head. Get as much out of life as you can. If it gets you in trouble, use your head to get out. Not literally, like in the movies. That's so lame.

Is it just me, or do I write kind of lop-sided? I might go back later and pull a good point out of this. In the meantime, can I get some responses? I miss them.

I need to write this stuff down when it comes to me. I just can't rely on my memory.

gah! I hate it when my mind and heart aruge with each other. it gives me more of a headache than I'm wanting to deal with

Me, too. Only I never have paper on me or my mind goes too fast for words and I can't get them down in time. >.<

Sometimes, one part just overpowers the other, though. Like having your heart screaming out what you should do, and your mind just subsides into agreement, no matter how crazy it might be. Or when you get that niggling feeling that you're making the wrong choice.

I lose a lot of good thoughts because I never have any paper. v.v Sucks to think a lot.
