GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #137

Heart or Mind, which one to follow?

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was: Good Morning Message #136‘.

Good morning Friends,

Between Heart and Mind, which one to follow?
That’s the question that often stares us in the face,
Many a time our pride we need to swallow,
Following the Heart when Mind could win the race.

It is really dependent upon the situation at hand,
No one can have a clear-cut and ready answer;
Sometimes, it doesn’t come out as planned,
One has to walk carefully like a tight rope dancer.

I often give in to the heart when I should,
Really listen to the sane advice of the mind;
Many a times I haven’t really understood,
Whether it is better to be right or to be kind.

But, then I really have no regrets in the end,
Losing in a situation to give someone a smile;
It has been important for me to win a friend,
Than have many personal triumphs to compile.

So, in this case, I can’t give you a clear advice,
You have to find for yourself the right course;
All I can say is don’t try to be too precise,
Let the mind lead and let the heart endorse.

Nobody wants to be called a heartless person,
Who always follows the dictates of the reason;
But, sometimes so that things don’t worsen,
Your Mind has to be the Flavour of the Season.

Let the Mind lead and Heart endorse.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
