When mind decides matters of the heart.

"When mind decides matters of the heart," is a caption I read in front of a cardiology clinic. I smiled pondering over it. Is the mind your culprit or the heart? Mind reasons and rationalizes and helps to figure out like a mathematical problem. Why is there a division between matters of the mind and the heart?

Heart is supposed to be a muscle, but that muscle can stop the life of a man of any size. And it is believed that one person is dead only when he becomes brain-dead. But the inherent strength of both heart and brain is enormous. Both are weakened by a sting.

Your heart is a muscle. It has inherent strength that can be made stronger, like every other muscle, by using it. Imagine for a minute that the heart is like a castle, and the drawbridge is the mind. You let in only what is safe for you, and then you never grow. You have to go through all emotional attacks and catapulting letdowns.

I thought of all these when I read that caption outside the cardiology clinic, which set in a whirlpool of thoughts trying to analyze what it meant as far as cardiology is concerned. It is all in the mind is what came to me immediately after reading it. But is everything just in the mind, where the heart is concerned? I really felt it is caption worth prodding over....quite a thought provoking one.

I asked two of my friends this as a question for which I wanted an answer." When mind decides matters of the heart?" One friend said when the heart is mature enough to reason with the mind. Another answer was many a times. The mind does reason with the heart...I felt both have to go hand in hand, lest either the heart or the mind will go for a toss. 

At an age when reasoning has no value and you are head over heels in love, with butterflies in the stomach, may be then the heart never listens to anything or anyone.
