Oya follow me

ShakurM:
Oya follow me

To?

Wow. Living by logic alone & calculating every move is so boring to me. Sometimes it's fun to just throw caution to the
wind & go with the senses. Senses are there for a reason, so why not utilise them? It's funny because it is the same "animal instincts" that saves us from things the brain can't comprehend. Have you ever had a bad feeling about something? Maybe an upcoming event , a person etc, decided not to partake in it & something bad ended up happening just like your 6th sense "said". Another one is when the hair at the back of your neck bristle at the sense of looming danger. A brain alone cannot tell you that, it needs to collaborate with the senses to decide safety, smell, the difference between sadness & joy, etc. So you can't say people should live by logic alone & let intuition rot when it (intuition) has proven to be a very helpful tool/part of the human nature time & again, when the brain can't compute.

confession . . . i am afraid of the dark.

i don't know why the hell i am still afraid of the dark. i distanced myself from horror movies since i was like . . . eight years ago?, tried to face my fear, but nothing . . . changed.

over the years, i've learnt, by force, that gut feelings aren't always accurate. in the dark, i always feel something extremely terrible is going to happen. i mean, i know nothing is going to happen. obviously. but that weird feeling just creeps up my neck that i'm going to get murdered from behind. or something.
fear . . . a sense of danger, comes up when your brain doesn't know what is going on. when . . . all of a sudden, all your senses provide random information that it can't classify. so, if you have a very busy brain, it start conjuring scenarios . . . but anyway.

yeah, it is . . . sometimes good to throw caution to the proverbial wind and just go with the flow . . . it feels good sometimes, but i've found, that most times, we do regret it. if you don't know what is going to happen, then you can't prepare for it, so, if something bad DOES happen, we then wish we had prepared for it, and then we start having regrets. but if we totally planned everything out, there would literally nothing to regret.

but then, i guess i'm just being overly logical.

Lol, you must be boring as hell in real life. Sometimes the excitement comes from not knowing the outcome. Taking a gamble. Da thrill! Oooh *shivers* Imagine if we had all the answers in life, what would be the point of living then? It'd be all hum drum & oh so boring. I'd rather be dead.

marilyn monroe: what if we had a child? he would have your brains and my looks!
Albert einstein: but what if he had my looks and your brains?

Teempakguy:
taaah!
i think the excitement comes from not knowing which outcome. taking a gamble, yes, but knowing every possible outcome. just not which.
i agree that the world would be a little bit boring if we knew all the answers. all the exact answers, but knowing all the possible answers could make life a bit spicy.
and no, i'm not boring in real life. . i'm actually . . . the opposite of boring.

read this alleged discussion between albert einstein and one actress. one is, just like you, going with the flow . . . and the other is, a bit like me, thinking of every possible scenario. be honest. who killed it?

ShakurM:
The head and heart are on a scale is what this means but the heart outweighs the head. Don't get me wrong.

Following your heart isn't an everyday decision for most people, understand that, it simply means you act accordingly to your gut feelings and emotions, your feelings I repeat , do what feels right! rather than using the head, the head complicates issues most times !

The movie '3 Idiots' comes to mind, one wanted to be a wildlife photographer, sounds stupid in the head but he followed Engineering inclinations because his head is telling him, 'you would be a laughing stock', your parents won't like this, this n that , oh you know how it went for him for those of you who have watched the movie.

Follow your heart, save yourself the headache.

Here's a tip; when faced in a crossroad of usually two decisions, you can toss a coin in the air , one decision the head, one decision the tail, when it's in the air, you would know what side you really want.

Fucvk it! I will post this.

PunkyVeer:


Hahaha. Neither killed it imo. Let them just get on with it already. Have the child & find out. Thinking too much is as bad as not thinking at all.

i actually posted this with that movie in mind. i kind of figured people were getting the wrong message from that scenario. the one who wanted to become a photographer never bothered to actually think of what would actually happen if he decided to go for that. he just decided to follow his heart . . . ironically. what he felt was right according to moral and social standards. he had this unbased fear about what would happen to him if he left for engineering.
this continued until he actually started to think about what he really wanted and the consequences. at first, he had to understand that photography was a low paying job but would make him happy. he had to think about what he would tell his parents. your heart can't do that. it just gives random feelings about things.

sometimes, when we are following our hearts, we think it's our heads we are following. but here is a rule of thumb. if you are following your head, at any given point in time, you will be able to fully explain what is happening to you and why. you will also have no regrets. because you have already planned everything out. with the heart, it's just a series of confusions. because you're following feelings based on hormonal releases.

successful people don't follow their hearts. they think about what they are going to do and then go and do it.
