When it comes to love which is better or safer to follow the heart or the mind? How about other situations other than love? is it better to follow the mind?

hello..in my opinion i think love is something can't be think and measure logically.. so i think most of the time someone in love follow their heart..for the example, if we follow mind in love then we will choose someone who is rich,good looking,caring, healthy,good family background,same religion and culture,and lot more positive values..if we follow our mind more in choosing love then we will ask and expect more which sometimes i think it's impossible to have a perfect person with perfect personalities.in the truth,we always fall in love with someone that gives us a comfortable and different feeling and this feeling cant been explain using our mind..so i think the feeling comes from our heart which make us follow it.. However there are sometime that we follow our mind instead of our heart..If we found that our partner always like to hit us or keep on doing something wrong,i think we need to use our mind to think logically that time..shall we continue to be with him? in the nutshell,i think love is something that really mysterious and cant be explain well..sometimes we know how to say about what to do in love but we fail to do it.. Happy mylotting!

In love, better to be with heart. Heart seldom says NO and think about departing your partner. but minds always WAVES yes or no. In other matters we can do as per our mind says BECOZ we can get this or that whichever is better. But in love not so, if so then it is not love.

You need to follow both. If you listen to just one or the other you can be led astray but when both are telling you the same thing, your chances are much better that you'll be OK. This goes for both love and other things.

I think we should follow both in love matter. We cannot ignore the rationality part (mind) in choosing our partner. We cannot love blindly. Both must be equally. For me,if we follow our heart only,it means that when we love that person deeply,we don't care about anything,we just go ahead and love that person. But with the mind part is taken in consideration,we will think of other aspects which are equally important as our love to the person which we may choose as our partner.
