Your Heart and Your Head

I love this picture because it's so true. 

Logic is comfortable.  Logic grounds you.  Having reasons and explanations helps you sleep at night and it is what keeps you from making the same mistakes again.  Logic is passionless, it is emotionless, and it keeps you from acting crazy, because craziness is not logical. 

Your heart has no reasoning.  I would be willing to say that your heart has the ability to make you feel uncomfortable and this is because there is no logic behind why you feel the way you do.  You feel flighty and somewhat crazy when you love.  What's worse is that there is no telling the heart "Don't do that again" because it doesn't listen.  Emotions make us crazy because there is no sense in it. 

There is a reason that every girl on the face of the planet loves Mr. Big.  We should all hate Big, but we've probably all had one and we understood where Carrie was coming from.  Carrie never, ever listened to logic and she always listened to her heart.  That man made her crazy for years, and she allowed the pain and suffering because she simply couldn't help it.  And she was a smart girl!
Who knows why you grow attached to some and not others.  Why do you fall in love with people who are in all reality not good for you, or who sometimes don't want you back?  Who wants to love a person who doesn't seem to care?  Why do you do things when you are in love that you normally wouldn't do?  And how can you be sure not to make the same mistakes again, if you are never deciding who you love and you didn't really decide the first time?  It doesn't feel like much of a decision.  Why do people click or don't click?  Why is it that logical qualities in a person don't matter when it really gets down to it?  Why when you are done, you're done for good?  I have so many questions to ask God when I die.

I know one thing for sure, and that is that in the end, the heart trumps.  The brain almost never wins.  When you are in love, you can't get out and when you aren't in love anymore, there's no getting it back. It can't be explained logically, and forever, I have wondered why the two have to clash like they do. 

What happens when you have to make your brain take over and go against your heart?  Does that even work?  People say that love is a decision.  Really?  I have yet to see that.  We all know what happens to your heart when you ignore your brain....sometimes you get hurt.  But what happens if you ignore your heart and listen to your brain?
