Whether it matters or not.

I want to share this story with all. May it gives those interested eyes out there some wisdom. Go on read it.

Two beggars used to live outside a village. One was blind and one had no legs. These two were in the same 'profession'. Both were competitors. It is very difficult for them be friends. They even label their clients. " Jangan kau kacau orang ni ah...this is my client. Don't youuuuu beg from him. " (Kesiannn)

One day the forest near the village, caught fire. Then what happened?

So when the forest was on fire the two beggars panicked (biasala tu). They were enemies and not speaking but this was an emergency. So what to do? The blind man said to the legless man : " I don't like you but aku kesian kau juga ni. So what if you sit on my shoulders; use my legs and I will use your eyes. That is the best way we can save ourselves".

It was immediately understood. Temberang or no temberang, this was survival. The legless man accepted the facts:

1) Legless can see but he cannot run.
2) The blind man cannot see but he can run.
3) They both needed to run away from the fire.

So they cooperated. And then they were both saved. They became friends and lived happily ever after (part tu aku tambah2 saja).

But apa erti semua ini?

Well. It was meant to talk about your intellect and your heart. Nothing to do with beggars and fires. You are on fire, whenever you face adversity.

Alone, your intellect is blind. It has legs, it can move fast with all the glory of the cerebral cortex. But it cannot choose the right direction in which to go. Because so, it continues to stumble, fall and get hurt and starts to question why it does things sometimes. Is this probably why intellectuals say " Life is meaningless" ?

Then you have the heart which sees and feels but has no legs. It doesn't do much. It only offers its opinion and sense of direction. The heart remains where it is, beating and waiting...for the day when the intellect will finally understand and will be able to use the heart's eyes.

You will need both intellect and heart. But remember the intellect has to accept the heart above its shoulders. It has to. The heart has no legs, only eyes and intellect so intellect has to listen to the heart and follow its directions.

Wisdom comes through the meeting of the heart and the intellect.
