Do you have feelings from your heart?

Technically no, it is actually in your head but people say they have feelings in their hearts. Thinking with your heart is stupid anatomically because your brain is in your head not in your heart. Well, I know this is not really what people mean when they use heart as the center of their emotions but I'm just curious to how it all started and why.

I don't know where that comes from, but i can see some sense :)
Our heart is one of the most important organs in our body. Our brain has it's mission - to think intelligent, so our feelings must be product of something else ... :)
And here is the heart, may be the most romantic thing we got in our bodies :)

Well, I took anatomy in college and learned that there are different parts of our brain that are specifically does a certain function like vision in the Occipital lobe in the brain, Frontal lobe for, reasoning, emotions, planning, parts of speech, etc, etc, etc. Heart really has nothing to do with feelings.

Perhaps it is this way because it was a widely held belief by ancient civilizations around the world that the human heart held the human mind. Thus the human heart held the human soul.
Heck the mere shape of the heart as we now draw it, was, and for some, is a very holy symbol of the Norse Goddess Freyja.
Despite being far removed from our ancient ancestors, apparently we still hold onto their beliefs a bit more than we would like to think.
