A dialogue between eternal rivals

“How can you always be so reasonable?”

“I’m programmed for this. My hardware is an encyclopedia of solutions to put into practice.”

“Are you sure that there is an answer for everything? On the other hand, I prefer to be guided by emotions.”

“I know you, I know how you are and you don’t know how many times you blow up my system. You have to listen to me! Why you complicate things when I have the solution?”

“Because if I always listened to you, I’d live halfway. I’d never feel my heartbeat accelerate, I wouldn’t fall in love and most of all I wouldn’t savor the taste of life.”

“But you would avoid hurting yourself, stumbling, making mistakes and suffering.”

“Sometimes maybe yes, but it’s thanks to those mistakes, that pain and those falls that today I know joy, passion and love. And then when I listened to you, without too much conviction, I always regretted it afterwards.”

“We’ll always be in conflict you and me, right?”

“If your solutions met halfway with my emotions, I think I’d settle hostilities. And you?”

“It would be a great achievement! But I’m the Mind… Try to elude me dear Heart and who knows, maybe it’s the right time that I cannot think.”
