The Brain vs the Heart

      I wonder who came up with the idea that a tooth and the human heart should share semblance. The humiliity the picture draws is undue.Given all the brain goes through it should be the one with a people's favourate badge on the chest. It should be the one on thanksgiving cards instead of rotting in the middle of some scientific book whose author you could never remember unless you name your teacher after him.
      And then the brain gets to be the one with all the complications. This brings to mind the image of a couple. Like the saying goes unlike poles attract so all successful couples have the extrovert and the introvert. The heart and brain are in constant conflict because they are both exroverts, trying to gain dominion over the body.

     Well of course some people think the heart is just what science sees, a blood-pumping vessel. Yes and  No. True, "a heart" pumps blood but "the heart" is that part of the brain that refuses to bow to the orders of the mind. Yes the mind and brain are different too. According to "Yahoo answers" (who gave it the right? i honestly don't know)..The brain is the organ inside the head that controls thought, memory, feelings and activity.The Mind is the part of a persons brain that makes it possible for a person to think, feel emotions and understand things.... So we have a situation on our hands, the mind wants to regulate emotions according to reality, the heart wants to do it anyway, the end result a moving mammal with more character irregularities than a dog and cat living in the same house. I guess its this conflict that makes us different from other animals.
    Today you follow your heart, tomorrow your mind regrets it, i actually feel sorry for the brain, hypothetically speaking it has to watch on as its two kids fight right under its nose, the heart will always act on impulse and the leave the regretting for the brain. What's worse is that when the heart turns out to be right, it claims all the honour undue. When it's wrong, the fault lies on enviromental factors." The human heart after all only pumps blood" they say. Oh now you remember? With that said i look forward to the day Valentines Day cards will be alittle more realistic.


Till then i remain a non-beleiver.
Yours trully.

Pride, the necessary evil

 Life is a journey, and we are the travellers. The destination? You decide.  So there's this creature called pride. Everyone has it obviously though some choose to deny it existance. Paradoxically making them even more proud than they care to admit.
  But then you put your brains to the test, imagine the world for a minute , everyone being submissive to each other. What a bore it would be!! The movies would be horrible, the music would be a total rip off, thats if we were somehow able to buy them after everyone else had got a copy. And worse!! We wouldn't have news! I repeat , we wouldn't have news! (wait scrap that, we are already there)
 Don't think i would want to live in such a world. But then imagine the worst case scenario, a world where everyone wears their pride on their foreheads. Sticking out like a red rose in a black and white movie.

  Well you are out of luck because that's actually the world of today. Can't say i hate it, because then we would have all dozzed through history lessons. I mean. i imagine Napoleon hadn't stood up to the rest of Europe, all we would have studied was how they sat at a table, drank some tea , and called it a day. Pride can be good, it gets things done, however too much of anything is always bad. So when you get alittle too proud for your own self to bare, you stop listening and start hearing, you are never late but delayed, you don't give excuses, you tend to call them reasons, and when someone tries to advise you, the only think you are thinking is what are you going to say when they are done making that vague sound.
  Everybody to an extent  is like this, though this doesn't nake it right. If we could just tone it down abit, to a rather more healthy level. A point where it meets integrity, a point where we feel pride in the things we did that brought change, this world would be a much better place to live in.
 I quote from a self-help commercial on tv:
             CHANGE IS YOU, CHANGE IS ME, CHANGE IS US

Get a blog or die trying...... literally


The first  time you hear about writting a blog, you are confused about why one would want to post an opnion that could him killed over the internet. Then you think about it, if the people who live with him had failed to exterminate him, what are the odds of getting killed by people who you don't know. Sadly, it's that kind of thinkning that is responsible for the increase in type 2 diabetes in society today. People spend half their lives feeding on sugar-cotted facts, because everyone wants to hear the truth, and no one wants to hear  the facts.






The truth is alittle more individualistic than the facts. The truth is a stew of one's knowledge, opinion and you may even throw in the mood of a person to act as the seasonings. The facts however stand indepent of the truth, the facts depending on the mood or personal traits may even rub off as blowing one's horn or being rude.
 This actually makes it hard to speak to sarcastic people, they just never speak the truth! To the contrary, hey envelope their facts in jokes that sting as you laugh along.
Take for example;
“I consider conversations with people to be mind exercises, but I don't want to pull a muscle, so I stretch a lot. That's why I'm constantly either rolling my eyes or yawning.”
Jarod Kintz, It Occurred to Me 


  SERIOUSLY?? WHO WOULDN'T KILL THIS GUY??
but just before you kill him, remember he is just telling the facts
  So the next time you want to kill a blogger for speaking out the facts , maybe you should reconsider because the truth understands, the facts hurt. And we the sarcastic people have to sholder the blame for speaking the facts.
   And for the record , the truth i wrote about facts, which only makes this blog the truth, because i wrote a fact to sugarcot my facts,.. confused yet? No? Well it takes two to tango, welcome to my world!!
