About this Quote

This quote by David Hare talks to the importance of balance in between our emotions and our logical thinking. It suggests that some people are more emotionally driven, carrying their heart in their head, while others are more sensible, bring their head in their heart. The challenge is to keep these 2 elements of ourselves separate, yet interacting. This is a difficult task, as it needs us to be aware of our feelings and to be able to think objectively. It is essential to be able to acknowledge when our feelings are clouding our judgement and to be able to go back and believe rationally. At the same time, it is necessary to be able to acknowledge when our logical thinking is leading us astray and to be able to tap into our emotions to make choices. Finding the balance in between our emotions and our reasonable thinking is essential to making choices that remain in our best interest.
