The Match between the Heart and Brain !

This is the “and all that” portion of the Blog title.

The March-April phase of this year has been a not-so-good one for me. Especially, vis-à-vis people around. It has been sad to say the least. Some people have gone, some want to go and I don’t want them to, while there are a few again whom I don’t want them to go, but may just have to let go. Sad, sad time. Cannot be helped. Life needs to go on.

I was wondering, what makes it so difficult to let go? For now, I was thinking about people, there are other entities that one finds difficult to let go as well. Well, one does not know them before knowing them, and one is happy, and then, once one knows them, does not want to let go of ‘em. Ain’t logical. But then, not everything in Life is logical or practical. There is where the Heart-Brain conflict arises. And unfortunately, it is next to impossible to resolve the conflict. It seems that there are two people who talk. Who debate. And one wins. Always.

Unfortunately, in my case, it has been the Heart which has won so far, hands down But , just like Bangladesh has the potential to upset a few big teams in World Cricket, my Brain too can beat the Heart. It has done it before. I see no reason why it cannot again. Probably, just probably, the brain thinks that it is logical for the Heart to win, and that is why it allows it to. But there comes a time, when the Brain realizes, that Match Fixings do not help. It needs to play to it’s potential. I think, that’s the stage my Brain is in right now. Enough leeway given to the Heart. Now, just may be the time for the Brain. Because, Life needs to go on

Probably, a better result could be a tie, or an abandoned match between the Heart and the Brain. I really haven’t figured out how that would happen, but I guess that would be an ideal result.

Coming back to where I started from, the people, who matter. Again, I don’t know what the future holds, but, one thing’s for sure, my Hearts gonna win most of the time. The Brain may cause an upset sometime, but, it would not have the firepower to be consistent. At least for now. At least for the immediate future. Till it changes, Life goes on.
