do you live for your heart or your mind?

life is always full of small troubles. sometimes we have to smile at others while in our deep heart we hate it. it is just like that we have to pretend we are happy and glad to meet them just for some other reasons. we have to cheat ourself to ignore our own real feelings in order to get some other things, such as money, fame or so called "friendship". some people called it "communicating skills". what is your opinpion? will you go for your material pursuit without considering your real feelings.

Actually we need to hide our real heart. If you hate a person, once you express yourself, that person maybe like you, but after you expressed. he will don't like you and help you anymore, you possibly have an enemy. So we should pretent ourself, behavor ourself, don't always express your mood. This will helps you. Actually say that is a kind person will do, doing good to others, no matter you like or don't like him.

yes, being a kind person is sometimes too tired for his or her own heart. and it is a little unfair, though it is a common rule that we have to take into consideration.

I live and listen to my heart. Always. I've pretended to be happy for many years now and it sucks. I really dislike smiling because I know that it's just for show. Sometimes we do have to cheat ourselves into believing everything will work itself out in the long run. I wouldn't put material stuff in front of my feelings. Never.

I think that you can't be really happy when you are cheating your own heart, or if you use only your "cold emotions". I'm trying to live my life with the heart and brain equally.

yes, many times we have to live with our mind but not our heart. we have to cheat ourselves though it is not happy life. but the truth is that we have to do so. don't you think so?
