should i? shall you?

No this is not a way to propose a girl. Nor is it a question to an examiner. It is an inner conversation between the mind and the heart. The mind is a cold and calculative and the heart is warm and empathic and emotional. Not sensitive but emotional.
For all those who dare to deny this, I ask you, have you ever loved a woman (or a man for that matter if you are a woman)? If you have then either you are lucky to have a woman(man) who loves you too much to be with a man(woman) who doesn't love her(him).

This is a simple story of the heart asking whether it should do what it does best and the brain calculating the possible consequences and arriving at the most likely conclusions. Then asks the heart again, shall you? Heart as we all know is a fickle thing. Be it in a man or a woman. Hearts change in a matter of seconds if allowed to. How many of us get cold feet moments before climbing on a stage?

But hearts are also the reasons we make the most mistakes in our lives. We give up what would have been good and take up what is bad. But it is after all a heart and not a brain and we learn to live with it. Hearts are why our lives are not lived like machines. It is why we lead colorful lives. It is what that lends joys and sorrows to make our lives more meaningful.

For all the people who rely more on their vaunted brains educated and trained in prestigious colleges, please use the heart. It'll make everyday a new day. To all my friends - learn to think with your heart. Perhaps we shall make mistakes that we shall remember, but they will be worth more than the correct decisions we took and forgot.
