How does one let go of the past in order to live in the present and hope for the future? I realize that I have pangs of guilt within me that haunt me from my break-up earlier this month. Just when I think that everything is just peachy, something seeps up from the deep recesses of my brain to remind me of the hurt. I will heal... I'm just more

Logic v. Heart

[yakko1]

Ummm... Sal, I don't think you need to go into a Freudian discussion about the superego and id on this issue. I think your heart will lead you in the right direction in most cases. Temptation isn't necessarily a bad thing unless you're easily tempted and forsake logic completely... kind of like not wearing protection in the heat of the moment. :P Okay, so that's not the best example... maybe getting into a fistfight instead of talking things through. I dunno. Regardless, some things shouldn't be completely dictated by logic... sometimes you just have act upon the feelings you have for another or risk losing them. Of course, you can always argue that if they were understanding then they would give you time to think... etc., etc. There is not easy answer, but I think we all must find what sits well within ourselves... what we feel is right. Some people are very happy being logical, some people are happy with going with their heart. I think for most of us, it lies somewhere in the middle... you just have to find the right combination for yourself.

Steve, its called baggage. I prefer to use my head and so far, my head has got me further than my heart ever did. When using my head,Ive tended to get myself far more involved than need be. So, if i dont need to use my freudian references.. should I use Plato?
