I no longer make a distinction between the two. Feelings are real and are largely what govern your quality of life. Would it be logical to make a decision that makes you unhappy? I don’t think it would be.
A true dilemma, almost by definition, is choosing between unpleasant alternatives. For most people, that means choosing the least distasteful. So, in almost all cases, I will follow my heart even if it is a more complicated response than following my brain.
@Mariah – i have to disagree on this one. Feelings are real for sure. But it may not be always wise to go with the feelings. If someone starts acting based on impulses i.e. without putting much thought on the consequences it will hurt him / her more at the end and make him unhappy.
My head weighs the possibilities and my heart chooses the better option.
But you have just touched on one of my problems: I can be very indecisive sometimes. I can list too many possibilities and take too much time to evaluate them to choose.
