Heart vs. Brain

While studying sociology – I just came across the concept of social structure where structure of society is studied by comparing it to the organism under Organic Analogy by Herbert Spencer. This is the time when it suddenly strikes my mind that…. “Kitni mehnat se uparwale ne hare k insane ko banaya hai….” (God has taken real pain in structuring every individual on the planet…) Same parts… same features… same functions given to all without any distinction yet every person is so special and unique in his own way…

By now, I have already closed my books and have started running behind this thought. Though I’m a student of “Social Sciences”, I doubt whether my heart is so scientific to digest all the facts… but on the other hand my brain has to… (Yes! Of course I say ‘has to’) because... Bhaiya Marks ka Sawal hai….

Now I’m thinking this Heart and Brain in single body is such “Ajeeb” combination, as in today’s world Heart is the only remaining unique and sole symbol of “Emotionalism” whereas Brain defines “Practicality”. Of course in my thought process the both play their own perfect cards of confusing me. Yet inspite of contradicting each other on every sphere of life they reside so happily in a single body as if they are a married couple. Pick up any… any stupid example of life like career, money, family, love both heart and brain are ready with their own pro’s and con’s… lekin isme watt ho meri hi lagti hai na….. (Its always me who is pissed of in this argument right???)

I think this Brain and Heart combination is like a 2 party system, both fighting to gain majority by displaying their strengths and disguising their weakness. Under such a situation however rat, elephant, and dragon you are… they are bound to confuse and corner you completely. I really thank God as he has not blessed my kidneys or pancreas with such a parallel thought process…. Else it would be Indian hung parliament in my body all the time without having ability to make a single right decision for betterment of my cells individually and my future particularly…. Ha ha ha ha ha ha….. LOL

Jokes apart, are both these guys in me at same time to maintain the balance between Emotional breakdown and over practicality? Am I the only victim of this dual thought process? When in serious tricky scary problematic situation who of the two is misleading and who is the actual guiding light? Are the series of question popping up in my head and are creating the same situation as I mentioned above.

I have seen people with severe emotional breakdowns, does this mean that they don’t have brains….? I have also come across people practically killing each other, so they don’t have hearts….?

Gosh!!!! This Heart vs. Brain is such a spider’s sticky web. Just tried to touch the topic and now it’s stuck. One thing is leading to another and the concluding line is not visible at all. That sociology guy Herbert Spencer who put this seed of thought in me must have already committed suicide again (as he is already dead) looking at the direction less flow of thoughts.

I suddenly remember my friend (don’t want to name him here) saying Love and brain don’t work together. And now deep down I m able to figure out some odd combinations like love and brain- ego, money and heart that don’t compliment each other and using them together can push you downwards.

And now I’m sure that things like love and friendship that are tender and soft should be dealt with heart so that they stay nurture and flourish INSIDE you forever. On the other hand rough tough things like earning money, political games, fighting mal- practices, ego, and attitude should be left as Brains duty so that you survive AMIDST them and yet grow as a strong person.

So finally, I conclude by saying that- Its cheers!! To both my Heart and Brain who together have strengthened my thought process and have at times accepted defeat to help me develop as a Human Being.
