Head Vs. Heart

Someone asked me the other day, between the head and the heart, which one is the leader. When I responded that I didn't know, he said I was the only one who could decide that for myself. Of course, I know he's right, but that knowledge certainly doesn't make finding the answer any easier.

I think most people would say they are both important, but is there a definitive ruler? Does it depend upon the situation? Perhaps even the person or people involved? What happens when one starts to outweigh the other? Ultimately, there are times when one has to emerge as the victor...right?

When you know your heart is going to hurt, but you just can't or won't give up the small pieces of happiness for the big pieces of pain, are you simply prolonging the inevitable, causing yourself undue grief and heartache, or is there any worthiness at all in the small triumphs?

Superman continues to circle around. There have been many, many fireworks, but also many, many disappointments. Can you really have passion without the drama, though? And if not, how do you reconcile the two, knowing how important passion is in your life?
