go with your heart with the guidance of brain?

"There is nothing more painful than
to let you're feelings take you down
because it's so hard to know the way you feel inside
when there's many thoughts and feelings that you hide..."
- A Shoulder To Cry On by Tommy Page

I still have this very deep curiosity,
about how feelings (wants) can go against the thinking (brain)
and how thinking (brain) can go against the feelings (wants).

So, as for now,
let me name our feelings (wants) as nafsu,
while our thinking (brain) as akal.

How usually this two elements will split the person into two options to decide. Which to follow?

There are times when wants could give extra-ordinary drive to people who needed self-motivations and inspirations. It is just like the very common example of an old lady could run very fast, beyond her or even our expectations when there is a dog barking, chasing her. Things like this goes beyond the logical thinking of a human being. But the deep wants drive could lead to this kind of magnificent thing to happen.

Pepatah Melayu,
Dimana ada kemahuan, disitu ada jalan.
Hendak seribu daya, tak hendak seribu dalih.

So it's hard to choose.
There are times when the things that we wanted so much
is the thing that the heart wants so much,
but the logical brain go against and stop us to do so.

the heart only knows what the heart wants
and the brain should play the role in controlling,
to create balance and to differ human from animals.


Follow your brain, you might stand up genius,
but not necessarily correct.
Follow your heart, you may feel better,
but not necessarily good choice.
So should I combine both and make a truth, most satisfying decision?
you can never find absolute, maximum satisfaction in life.
-see, my brain is functioning logically, again.


Why do I still want when I'm very clear and know that I really shouldn't? Who to be blame?
