Do not listen to your heart

The heart I have come to know is more treacherous than anything you can know. It tells you to do the things you know you should not do. It seduces you into believing you can handle the situation and once you get into the situation you realize it's probably too late to get out.

The other day when it told you to hit your friend or say something hurtful to your friend for hurting you, you went ahead and did it. Later, when you calmed down, you felt regret; and where did you feel the regret? In your heart!

Then at another time, it told you to walk away from your parents and slam the door behind you because you were indignant at the way they were speaking to you. You listened to your heart and then later you felt regret in that same heart.

Think of all the times you acted in a certain way because your heart impelled you to and then later this same heart felt remorse over that course of action.

Does this sound like a heart you can trust?

If you deny this simple truth, your heart has deceived you again. If you accept it too, your heart has deceived you because it will make you deny it soon.

Piece of advice: Don't listen to your heart. Period
