RE: The Mind's a Compulsive Liar - The Heart Tells the Truth
I often believe that even though people say that do something with their hearts they in fact still do it with their minds. We are often afraid to do what our hearts tell us, let it be because of the social pressure, how we would be perceived by others or whatever other reasons we have. Society tells us how we should be and we follow it not to be different.
I personally do not agree that drunk people say the truth. From my family experience I must say that alcohol plays no role in one's ability to tell the truth. Some of us are chronic liars and can't even differentiate what is a truth or a lie :)
Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day! :)
I agree. I too have been guilty of this. My guess, is that it is because we are so accustomed in the modern age to glorifying rationality and ignoring the demands of our heart, that when it does speak loudly to us, we might be able to discern that it's telling us something very wrong or something is very right, but the mind will do its best to reinterpret that message in a way that suits what the mind wants. But in my experience, the more you commit to listening to your heart over your head, the clearer it becomes to understand what the heart is communicating to you. It just speaks an entirely different language, and one that like any other, it takes a little while to learn - especially when one has spent much of their life running away from their heart, as I did.
Oh, I am also in disagreement with that. I mentioned it only because it something people say an awful lot where I am from, but I think it's far from true.
