We all come across this ” Listen to your heart ” . What it stimulates in my mind is not a solution to any problem, as the statement is supposed to do but rather a confusion . What after all is the voice of the heart . If at all there is a difference between our heart and mind ? Of so many voices that come from within , to concentrate and listen to one is already so big a task and on top of it tagging it as coming from the heart or the mind is something i’v never understood.
Is anything ,that can be labelled as logical or reasonable ,the voice of the mind , and anything that’s just absurd, out of the world, logic less, making no sense could then be the thing coming from the heart. If voices could such easily be distinguished why not just do something irrational instead of getting into the terms of heart and mind after all .If something emotional is to be termed coming from the heart -oh how can that be , emotions driven by hormones - hormones driven my brain !
The basic thought that builds this confusion is that we humans are the cunniest .Most of us want to go the right way , the way our conscience allows and to go this right way our very cunning brain can make the ugliest things so beautiful. Our brains know it best how to satisfy our conscience. We start thinking , reasoning and justifying things so brilliantly ,so much so that our inner self starts to live with this thought.And what happens inevitably is that this thought - originated in the brain - has finally created a niche for itself in the heart .And now we term this as the voice of the heart.So is the voice of the heart and the mind not the same thing then? One stimulating the other and vice- versa .
And so it happens many times , voices come and i do listen to them actually ,understanding little if am going by my mind or heart. My friend says he sees me as someone who listens to the heart .Okay so I listen to my heart and i don’t even know what it is like listening to the heart, my actions are in fact never driven by any voice for that matter. Sure i do listen to a lot of those , and failing to understand any bit of it i do something that’s as spontaneous as just calling “maa” by a kid when he falls down . If this is what people call the voice of the heart , why do we just have to overrate it .Why are the simplest things the most overrated ones? This surely is something that need not be taught. And this surely is something i need not be cracking my head for.But if this friend of mine has this total wrong concept of “listening to the heart ” ,which makes his judgement of me a wrong one, only my heart knows if either it , or my mind was speaking when i was listening to the VOICE ! (what ,by the way,is this VOICE ? )
