Technically speaking, yes, we make the decision to continue down that path that may or may not lead to love, but I don't agree that the heart is truly blind, that it's all up to the logical mind to protect the heart from doom. I don't think the heart can be fooled so easily. How many times do we go along with something with that same feeling of "let's see where this leads" and NOT fall in love? How about that great guy/gal that we really WISH we could love because s/he has all the great qualities we desire and we genuinely like them but can't seem to cross that river to Love land? And who's to say that "feeling" we get that we shouldn't go there isn't our heart itself warning us and not our mind at all? <BR/><BR/>You said you knew the exact day your feelings were involved with the Idiot. But were those initial feelings premeditated? Sure you had the opportunity thereafter to never speak to him again, but something intrigued you to keep going, and maybe that something was just as strong as your intuition that it probably wouldn't work, but few people in this world will leave a "what-if" to stand. When we look to delegate fault, then we have to designate a victim. Hey...c'est la vie, but in this life we must and will take risks, even stupid ones! I think it's great that the heart and mind are so resilient that we can shake the dust off our feet, wipe the tears from our eyes and be willing to try again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18875045.post-1144949273983524082006-04-13T12:27:00.000-05:002006-04-13T12:27:00.000-05:00It's official.

As long as something "just happens," people get to play the victim and never be accountable when they make mistakes. I, for one, would rather be responsible and in control because that means I can choose not to make the same mistakes over and over. If only it were that easy, huh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18875045.post-1144879636127141892006-04-12T17:07:00.000-05:002006-04-12T17:07:00.000-05:00Excellent point!

And there is that moment of “Ah ha!” … There is that chance you can just walk away from that feeling—or go with it—take a chance and “choose” to love that person. <BR/><BR/>It’s even more flattering when you hear that you’ve been ‘chosen’ <I>so to speak,</I> to be loved. <BR/><BR/>Great post!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986475569600734742noreply@blogger.com
