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.
