Inside a person there is a Mind to help the body move and make decisions. The Mind has two assistants reporting to it. First, there is the Brain; to rationalize and make sure that the decisions are the right, logical ones. Second, there is the Heart so that whatever hard, logical thinking and conclusion the brain makes, it is balanced out with the factor that some decisions just need moral grounds, a little compassion and empathy.
A battlefield exists when the Mind's assistants clash against one another. The Brain holds one stance, and the Heart holds another. Sometimes the Mind knows which side is better. Based on the situation, the Mind will favour either the Heart over the Brain, or the Brain over the Heart. It is a simple conclusion.
However, when both the Brain and the Heart fight to have their opinions accepted by the Mind, the Mind gets confused. On one hand, Brain has been logical and has listed down the pros in listening to it. On the other hand, the Heart screams that the logics does not matter than there are other things more important than just tangible pros and cons from the Brain.
When the Mind chooses the Heart, the Brain very quickly points out several destructive flaws. When the Mind switches to support the Brain, the Heart very aggressively fights back and prove, with bravery and persistence, the Mind is not ready to handle what the Brain has to offer. And so the battle continues with the Brain and the Heart.
In this battlefield, it seems to me, the Heart may win.
