Depends on the situation, in some cases it has to mind over matter. Where you have to listen to your mind rather than your heart. Like when hired to kill someone, you have to do it and forget what the heart may want to tell.

It all depends on the situation like Eddie said. It varies, but listening to your heart or emotions all the time will eventually lead into some very bad decisions.

I think every good decision has to be made based on a combination of emotion (or heart) and logic (or brain). Otherwise, we make decisions that are completely irrational, or decisions with no regard to how they may affect others.

I agree with Jenna I think that it's a combination of your heart and mind, because usually to get a good grade on something or to be good at something you have to put some kind of heart into.

I agree with you; I think we would be significantly behind technologically, and our manufacturing processes would probably be less efficient because there would be precedent for that.

I think there wouldn't be as much focus on progressing in technology since those 1950's factories would still be taking up space and money that could have went towards other things

Depends on the situation for example when giving a presentation and you begin to think about every little thing or possibility, it will make you nervous but if you go by heart and forget the rest then you will do pro.

I love your quote!! The idea of the amorous heart is a complex and intriguing one. Do you know how many different definitions of love there are?? Everyone views love differently! I personally believe each heart is unique and has its reasons which are often difficult to understand, but we just have to accept them and all their abstract-ness :)

Your question is very existential but I would have to say logical. I say logic because while listening to your heart is good, we don't always know what's best for ourselves and those around us. Using logic we can realize how it impacts those around us and make a morally correct judgement as to what we should do.

I think that the disagreement with Walmart is not only with there tactic, but with the feelings that they have towards the actaul company. I know that some people swear by shopping there and others dislike it. While it may seem off topic I believe that what Walmart is doing in the present is ok for the consumers who save money suring the present, yet I have heard issues with their employees. So as I see it Walmart is cutting corners in their products becasue they can afford to.
