In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart

"Follow your Heart", listen to that quite inner voice, which is  absolutely pure and immaculate. Life offers many opportunities where we need to make a choice- between things which are equal but which are different in terms of their repercussions. In such catch-22 situations, reasoning usually falls behind humanity as a sense of purpose or duty takes precedence over sense of safety and life. Such intensities are generally governed by our hearts and not our brains.

For Example: Our soldiers who brave the enemy bullets and protect our borders don't think twice in battlefield, a mother when seeing her child in danger doesn't apply any logic and jumps to face any evil without weighing her strength, the video in Australia which went viral to show the unity and compassion of people by tilting the train to save one person's life being caught between the tracks amazed and woke up the whole world.

Thus we need to rise in purpose in life; pause and step back to look at the bigger picture being played in which we are mere characters, understand our roles well, be sensitive to misery and strife, be more human and stop to help others and not get so much mired in our routines, that humanity is ashamed to behold us as its custodians and is forced to pass on the baton to someone else.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony...

Happiness is a state of mind where everything seems favorable, and there is an absolute absence of negative feelings and emotions. It means wholesomeness of thought, speech and action. Any dichotomy in the latter gives rise to expectations and worries. They are the breeding ground for discontentment and anguish.
We are living in a world where money and materials have replaced happiness and emotions. Everyone seems to be running in a freestyle race where there are no rules and no clues. Winning is the objective and paths don't matter anymore. The prevalence of vices and unrest in the world has made us so immune that it does not move us enough to stand up and act. We are the ones who have made corruption, social injustice and women safety take serious shape by being silent. There is hidden wrath and anger, but there is no time and space in our lives to stop and speak. From silent spectators we have turned into submissive acceptors of all that is wrong and all that we want to change.
This incongruence and discrepancies between the felt emotions, silent expression and inaction makes one dissatisfied, helpless and ultimately unhappy. Thus it would be apt to say that happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony...
