The heart is flawed in judgment... unless one frames everything through the proper filter.

(Hint: Anything you can justify to yourself that starts in a want, and not in an actual need...? Tips its hand as to its selfish and short-sighted origin source, and, for emotional and physical health, probably should be avoided/un-indulged.)

@NiftyWhite It's easy to navigate and avoid the slippery slope, if you know how the slope starts (always in a "WANT").

The heart can be very flawed, but it only seems that way when things go south. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being led with your heart. I think the world would be a more peaceful and accepting place if it was more heart based. When there is potential harm or danger on the horizon though, that’s when the mind really needs to be allowed to take over because the heart would be too forgiving to preserve itself.

I’m lead by my heart more than my head and with that has come more pain than one person should have to bear. Despite that, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I tried not being that person led by their heart and I felt too empty inside to exist, more so than after having my heart ripped out by someone I thought cared about me.

@acupaday very real thoughts. thanks for your honesty. you’re right when it goes south you scold yourself. and yet when u used ur mind when ur heart oriented you feel empty - great observations

The heart is wicked above all things ,it has to be taken into subjection .
Out of the heart the moth speaks ,then the tongue becomes the tool that is hard to bridle that defiles the rest of the body ,we are also told to try and control it too .
When we let our hearts control us ,well then it takes over the eyes and other parts of our body and then lust and hate and jealousy creeps in ,,
See its not the things that go into the body that defiles it ..
it all begins in the heart ,,
it leads you into such misery ,,and then when its hurt ,because it can't think
it tries to kill us ,
Some say I follow my heart ,,I say there goes a fool
but ,I am not guiltless ,,I have done it too

God said the heart is "deceitful" so I'll go with my mind.

great answer @PrettyGurl24
Heart for emotion, mind for logic.

Great question! For me, it’s often a battle between the two.

I seem to vary it depending upon the outcome I want.
When people tell me follow my heart i do.
