A friend aspiring to get into one of the B Schools asked me to help himout with his essay writing business for entrance exams. One of the topics that caught my attention was 'Heart has reasons of which the reasons know nothing of' This ones especially for you, Ankush:
We almost always find ourselves stuck in moments where we have to make a choice - between the voices of brain and those of the heart. The fight continues in one way or the other and we continue to drag ourselves with it often listening to the voice of our brain and ignoring the heart chiding it to ask you to do what you really want. The voice that you actually want to act upon but do not do so as you are grounded by the societal pressures and have to put on your mask to maintain your image. That image - the liars image..
William Arthur Ward had once said:
Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you.
Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you."
I seriously wonder why ppl make an attempt to curb the voices of their heart??
A heart feels, a heart knows, a hearts understands... It’s not just that one organ in your body that ensures to keep you alive. It’s the organ that helps you look at life closely. It helps you feel emotions and helps u live through numerous experiences in life. It helps re-live all your memories. It helps you age gracefully and remember the best moments in your life fondly. It knows when the perfect love comes by.
It understands your pains..
It’s emphatic...
It decides unselfishly..
It’s the one that beats....
every moment... to keep u alive to make sure you live life...
I often keep wondering ...
I usually make a very good first impression. I use my brain while talking to people i meet for the very first time. When i start to get comfortable with those people my heart takes over.. I feel weak.. Some sort of Achelles heel weakens methat takes advantage of me. As i start getting more and more comfortable with people around me my brain is in total control of my heart.. I start to loosen up... start to reveal things... Many a times those which i shouldnt be revealing.... All the while knowing that they are exploiting me, I remain calm, well poised and cheerful but disappointed and deeply hurt from within.... I seriously do not know why this happens...
Sometimes it’s difficult to understand the co-ordination between your heart and mind. They don't seem to be working on sync with each other... It’s something that tears you apart. The heart looks at life in a different light altogether. The brain looks at the practical side. But it doesn't look at the practical side when the heart is taken over and i am gallivanting with strangers revealing the so called trust my eyes are blinded with... It looks at the immediate profit. It reasons out only when i am stabbed... Bang... welcome brain!!! Hello practicality.. Hello wisdom of all earth... [Hello.. where were you when heart was wandering and wasting away??]
Don't you know?? The heart never was made for logic... It cannot understand logic. It was never developed for that purpose. So it kept doing its duties... brain is the traitor... I don't know if there exists a person whose brain and heart works in sync and is consciously aware and happy about the functionalities of the two.
The bible maintains that is a acute relationship between the two.
It says that you are supposed to love God with all your heart.
That’s obviously a figure of speech. If you are going to love god with all your heart it is obviously going to have a place in your mind… not in your heart.
When you tell your wife or girlfriend that you love them with all your heart.. What you really mean is that they are consuming your mind and you are mentally focused on them… isn’t that right.
So what is actually functioning at that time?? The heart or the brain?? Love from the brain ?? While its important to feel your emotions closely you cannot ignore the practicality of the situation. Boy am i confused or what??
A heart can be unreasonable sometimes. It makes you react on the basis of your innate raw feelings.
It makes you jealous,
it makes you happy,
A heart can tell you that you would want to a millionaire but the brain understands that it’s not possible with the current employment. And that’s when a compromise comes in practice.
Each organ is made for a different purpose. It’s like a husband and wife –living together but functioning differently. What’s important for both of them is to save their marriage. It’s important for this pair to live in harmony so that it does not lead to a divorce. In another words a nervous break-down for our dilemma right now.
Hence a heart may have it reason which a reason may not understand but since they have to live in harmony and keep a person from exploding I guess they have to function together , yet differently.
This write up has been edited for the blog but a raw and a much more brainy version of this essay has won Ankush an interview call. :0)
