> surely the mindful decision is empathetic, constructive, and wise - not just base.
As your heart is, if you listen to it.
Listening to your heart is different to compulsive thoughts or reactions; getting swept up in a mass hysteria of the times; or a spasm that can tear through a crowd.
These types of revolutions, or crowd motions, are more often based on intense intellectual ideas and expressions of subconscious motivations rather than the present intelligence of your actual heart.
So I think the original comment has it very right: if people actually tuned into their heart and listened to that they’d find their way much more surely in the world. I encourage you to try it!! :)
The untrained mind in its raw state, for most people is not the cool, rational, dispassionate instrument of your imagining, (though you may have been blessed with such a faculty, most are not! Including I). Most peoples minds are chaotic places and can usually be swept up in these movements. But even if yours is the cool instrument you speak of, I encourage you to develop your heart sense and listen to its intelligence—it’s vital and a different perspective.
I think most peoples’ hearts are innately sensible, than their minds are in fact. The heart also seems to require less training to make it so—you simply need to listen to it well.
Mm, from Green Day. The actual quote seems to suggest the opposite^0, but that's OK, I think you mean you hesitate to follow your heart because you're afraid you'll be labelled as "irrational" -- or disagreeable! haha -- (and you don't want people to think that about you); and you don't yet trust it.
But when you do (trust it -- your heart), you can trust that it will lead you, the right way for you! :)
I guess a more literal reading is it's sad that not everyone is in love and in sync, emotionally and mentally, but...you know...as long as no one's hurting each other, that great diversity is the spice of life!
But if you're against that? I don't know: you got to respect other people's different feelings.
Thanks for sharing that bit of you. Beautiful. I appreciate it! :)
Happy New Year! :)
0: (definitely more an expression of a personal angst and disillusionment by Green Day than anything about the actual reality of the world): At the center of the Earth, in the parkin' lot // Of the 7-Eleven where I was taught // The motto was just a lie // It says "home is where your heart is," but what a shame // 'Cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same // It's beating out of time
