The heart, a simple organ, that fuels everything in the human body, but philosofically speaking it's a mistery, no one understands it, which drives as mad, it fuels us, but what fuels it? what does it want? What is it that it so desperatelly needs that it ignores our needs and pulls us into dark emotional holes that we might never get out of?
Let's talk in metaphors, because theres nothing our entities like more than metaphors, to explain this complicated duel in between the heart and the mind.
The mind, an entity that needs rationality to live, it needs knowledge, it dreams, and it patiently plans on how to achieve these dreams in the shortest time possible, and the most efficient way imaginable.
The heart, a very powerful entity, at times more powerful than the mind, it has the same dreams as the mind but it ignores rules and strategy, wanting to achieve the dream as quickly as possible. Hearts are lonely creatures, constantly searching for a place to call home, be it a dream job, doing something you love, FALLING, in love. It permanently searches for a resting place, getting hurt in the process.
When put in a situation of stress, the mind tries to keep calm, but the heart tends to lose control, wanting to end this confusion by going "home", it's resting place, where it knows it's safe, a shrine it can call it's own.
From what I studied the heart starts off with no aim, but happy, being growth and health it's main focus, it's then it gets most of it's experience, finding out what learning is, what friendship is, playing, achieving goals, love. Once it goes through that trial, once it goes on to the second stage, it's much more vulnerable to scaring, emotional ones, especially during the teens years, it starts feeling a small void, that rappidly starts growing and consuming, in this topic, Love is the void, quickly it can devour one's attention, at this point the mind is immature, not as much as the heart, but quite a bit, the mind quickly catches up to the link, no love equals burning pain, and that's not good, so it aproves the heart's rush, almost completely, if it doesn't get rejected, it learns little, if it gets rejected, it matures much quicker, knowing what pain is may be vital for one's emotional growth, this makes it so the mind gives more consideration to pondering and questioning, the heart either frails and hides from emotional pain, or it falls, getting up afterwards, trying again.
The heart doesn't like scars, scars are there to remember the mind what happened, and what mistakes it should avoid, though sometimes the heart gan out-mature the mind, it's very rare but not impossible, a heart that has undergone extreme emotional pain has one of two options, enter emotional madness, or mature, the heart knows what it wants, what it needs, and like I said before, in rare cases, it becomes equally or more mature than the mind, doing what the mind would do, being patient, enduring the pain the scars left.
The heart is perfect in it's imperfect way, and so is the mind, both of them are there, to compensate one another.
I lost my will to write, good night people.

Personally would shorten the first two paragraphs into a single summarizing topic sentence.
You write this with 'your heart' to use your terminology. I would suggest try using 'your mind' more to mediate things, as it comes off a bit rant-y and rave-y. Still, when you use 'your heart', you put effort almost thoughtlessly, so that's a double-edged sword.
Suggested reading: id/ego/superego. Ask any psychologist, seriously.
2/5 due to the spelling/grammar errors. Keep writing! - Report As Spam
