Albert Einstein once said that “A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be. ” The quote probably deals with the exploration and discovery of science and truth, but it applies equally well to resolving conflicts between the heart and mind. It’s good advice, but sometimes it’s really difficult to heed. The annoying thing is that it utterly conflicts with another of my favourite quotes, “The heart has its reasons, whereof reason knows nothing”, from Blaise Pascal.
