Mind and heart
How is one to live without mind or heart? This article is not about a social problem or political issue. Rather, it is a personal experience that shows how people appreciate things only when they lose them.
Friendship is a supreme human relationship. It is something more valuable than fellowship, neighborliness, or even kinship.
And here I must confess that I did not appreciate the true value of two friends until after their departure.
They were friends and I was sincere and honest in my relationship with them. But their departure shook my person to the core, and made me realize that I was missing two essential elements of my life without them.
Together, these two friends used to play different roles in my life. The first played the role of the mind, the second the role of the heart. It is no exaggeration, though I realized it only after their departure.
The first one left me about two years ago. I was sad that he left, but happy for him to get a chance for higher studies abroad. Time has passed, but I ask myself daily who to turn to for serious reflection and logical conclusions. Of course, many topics in one’s personal life need a mind to reflect on them. Now, that mind is no longer there.
How many times have I needed that mind? Always, almost all the time. For a long time, he assisted me, never lazy or rejecting a topic, be it personal or general.
Everyday I remember his clever ideas, his cunning conspiracies. He used to pick up matters and give them logical solutions, suggesting ideas and plans which, in most cases, proved successful. I also remember that his love was dominated by his mind rather than his emotions, and for that we used to call it a "mathematical love".
Of course, humans are not normal without minds since they use them in everything they do. Because of this, I realize how much you are valuable to me, my dear Mind. Forgive me for not appreciating you before you left and forgive me for shedding light on some of your personal affairs. Believe me; it is because I miss you.
The heart is also an essential part in human beings. It has many functions, not only pumping blood to all the parts of the body, but also creating and recreating emotions.
He left a month ago, but it feels like a year or more. I exist, but feel nothing inside of me. He was the source of all feelings and emotions. He would remind me and others of our feelings, blaming us when we behaved without paying attention to the emotions of others.
Now that you are far away, I am confessing that I miss you Heart.
Only when he left, I appreciated his being with me. Since then, I have remembered every minute we spent together.
I remember how he was always a man of the heart, not only for me, but also for others.
I remember his love story which was rich is emotions. I remember the day on which he spontaneously approached his sweetheart and told her "I love you", without any hint or introduction to the topic. I remember many things, but without feeling.
I remember his role on many occasions when I and other friends took decisions against others. He always used to say: "Have mercy!" Now no one says it, as you are far away.
Oh Heart, only now do I appreciate the time we spent together. I ask for your forgiveness for not appreciating you when you were here. Forgive me also for revealing some of your personal affairs in this article, and keep in mind that I did it because I really miss you.
Yes, dear ebabies, life is abnormal without such friends who are only appreciated after their departure. Every member should appreciate the value of everything and everyone they have.
Finally, I want to reveal the names of these two persons: N (the mind) and L(the heart), hoping that it may relieve my heartfelt loneliness, and attribute them the value they truly deserve.
