Logic, from the Greek λογικός (logikos) is the study of reasoning. I think all through our years of education and our years in the corporate world, logical thinking to handle any situation or to find a solution to any problem, is taught, expected, encouraged and appreciated.
But, when it comes to the matters of the heart or personal interactions, this logical thinking may not be as appreciated. I have witnessed this many a time when logical thinkers who try to seek reason and who try to solve any issue using logic are sometimes viewed as 'Too Practical' or 'Cold'. This started intriguing me and made me think more (there goes my logical hat) about why this may be the case.. is it true that sometimes being logical makes us less likely to be spontaneous, does it make us less likely to sympathize (since we are too caught up in 'solution'ing), does it make us less likely to be fun? Is it because when we are showing our 'logical' side, our 'emotional' side is not as apparent?
Is there merit in letting go of logic and actually training the mind to stop thinking and start experiencing?
Are 'Thinking' and 'Feeling' mutually exclusive?
I know there are no answers to lot of questions/situations in life and sometimes we have to just let go and accept the flow and go with it...that said, just because you don't have an answer, is it wrong for me to question?
I would love to hear from all my readers so I can actually crack this logic behind logic..

It is the classic "Heart vs Mind"..
It is simple, in the end if you want to be happy - use your heart only!!
If you want to be successfull always use your thinking/logic/Mind..
I got this though by using my logic though.. and i believe Heart is the winner by far.. although the ones who "think" with their heart are often called "dreamers" or "losers"!! :)
So, final word, i dont know either!! :)
