I’ve heard many times in the past of this quote,” Follow your heart, but do take your brain.” This quote always strikes a chord in me. Yesterday, I found some theories for it.
“Follow your heart” is the expression of romanticism, which can be nature, love, freedom, but oftentimes be uncontrolled, naive, uneducated.
“Take the brain” is the expression of modernity, which can be rationality, science and logic, but oftentimes be cold and heartless.
Being a mature human in this modern world, mixing and matching romanticism and modernity seems to be the best solution to survive and thrive, as we can benefit most when keeping a balance between both mindset. Say judge the world using modernity mind, and enrich the heart using romanticism mind.
