When the Heart Rules

I find that sometimes when I'm the loneliest... I do the stupidest things. It is amazing how fast one can become so very very weak...

I remember Tim Johnson speaking at my high school graduation telling everyone to follow their hearts... I have listened to that little piece of advice. It has gotten me to some great places... and some terrible ones. The heart is deceitful above all things. I am not really sure why I thought it would be a good idea to take that little tidbit seriously... alas, now we are here.

God gave us all hearts and we should not ignore them. That does not mean, however that our feelings should rule us.

That saying reminds me of Claudius' line in Hamlet, "To thine own self be true," which people always think is a positive statement. But, if you look at the text it isn't. Claudius is an idiot and is wishing his son destruction. Certainly, this is something not to follow!
