I find the brain to be quite exquisite; many times it itself is the cause of its own grief. By all technicalities, we tend to drive ourselves crazy with the endless toggling between what is right, what is wrong, what we want, what we want to avoid, etc.
In many moments we find ourselves in this very situation: our hearts are telling us "Go for it," but our brains hold us back with its logical and unrelenting realism. I always wondered where the dividing line is between following your heart and following your brain lied.
Now, I'm not ignorant enough to understand that your "heart" and your "brain" can be one (although many would disagree with this, but that discussion is for later), but as we separate them, I tend to like the interaction between the heart and the brain. I always find that my heart is too open and my brain is... well it is a little overprotective. I typically find myself in situations where I'd rather let my heart... ahem... yes, we'll say my heart take over. (Hush)
So when I do let my brain take over, I end up kinda regretting not going for something, although it could have potentially hurt me, like so many things do.
Is pain the thing that grows us or slows us? This answer may never be answered , but what I do know its that my heart wants to take over a little more. Let's see where this leads me :)
