4 ways of knowing

..two of which are reason and emotion.
enemies in fact. Making decisions based on emotion is using your heart instead of head
and making reasonable decisions is based on using your head in stead of your heart
equally crucial, yet calamitous as well. If you choose emotion you base your future on a present feeling or certain hope. With this you could wind up looking back and thinking "what a waste" if it turns out to fall through and disappoint. Just like chasing dreams, more is left to chance. People say follow your heart, but they don't tell you the side effects.
If you choose reason you end up letting chance take its course in a whole other way. You end up stable and secure, and potentially bored out of your mind. Potentially depressed because you left behind happiness, friendship, love....but stable nonetheless.
