So I'm curious as to how you all feel about the subject. If your head and your heart are in conflict about something in life, and you have been able to clearly distinguish which is saying what, do you listen to your head or your heart?
Which one is wiser to listen to? Which one will bring you more comfort or happiness in life? Which one will leave you questioning your decision later on in life? Which one tells the truth or gives the right answer?

DING DING DING!!!!!
I'm in the middle of a not-nice divorce (are ANY nice?). My ex-wife has run off with a VERY wealthy WOMAN doctor. Part of me (Head) screams good riddance! She has been so very wasteful of money and credit for over a decade. She squandered so very much! Part of me (Heart) Screams for her to come home. It's been over a year now, and I still pray every night (not sure to what god anymore), that she comes home. She is the mother of my children and was my only real friend for twelve years..... There is a political adage my father used to tell me when I was younger..... "If your'e not liberal in your twenties, you have no heart" "If your'e not Conservative in your forties, you have no brain" I'm guessing that means that if you have a healthy mix of both your'e libertarian? |

LOL @ hamster-bamster & tru butterfly. On a good day I have both. I usually listen to both 50/50, pray and let God (higher power) lead me on BIG decisions. Good luck.

Darn Quick Reply's.....
Something my Dad used to say.... "If you're not liberal in your twenties, you have no heart". "If you're not conservative in your forties, you have no brain". Does that make me a Libertarian? Any ways...... My ex-wife and I are in a divorce. She ran off with a VERY wealthy WOMAN doctor. My head screams at me to slam the door shut and never let her back in.... My heart screams at me to keep the door open so she can come back in.... It hurts.... A LOT. She was the ONLY person who ever put up with my BS.... She loved me in spite of my BPII.... But I guess twelve years was too much to ask for, and it took her leaving for me to get help. What's best, the head or the heart? Who knows.... Just don't listen to country music, or you'll be crying your eyes out! |

I only listen to my head but I don't trust anything I feel.

My head and heart are never on the same page, tbh, they're not even reading the same BOOK. Its a right mess bcoz they're both FKD UP, I dont trust either, they both backfire, so now I toss a coin

I don't trust my head. It works in twisted ways. It's usually the heart for me.

I spend a lot of time in my head. At times there are things I understand in my head, but I cannot complete the transformation and move this to my heart.
I don't think we can believe in a thing 100% if our heart and mind aren't on the same page

I don't know. In my head things get twisted and tangled. I think I'm thinking clearly but then I'm not. But my heart feels too much. It overwhelms me with emotions, drowning me in them and sweeping me away in the flood so I can't function.
So I can't really trust either....

My heart deceives and betrays my head.

I use both, but intuition has gotten me in a lot of trouble when manic or hypo; I have to make sure I'm measuring both my head & heart before I make impulsive decisions.
