'Old Habit Die Hard' thread.... (AA lobby)

hmm last time I got asked myself this question also...Originally posted by MooKu:I'm not so sure if I'd want to do that.
But as a kid of single-digit age, I'd been told I should follow my heart more because I almost never do so. So as I grew older, I tried to do so but almost every single time I can remember, that I had to make a decision between following my heart or being rational, following my heart always ended up as a tragedy of sorts.
So I was thinking... if the next time came along... maybe I should just do what would logically be "right".
I'm not good when it comes to handling emotions (if I do use them)... so maybe that would be a better thing to do?
can listen to heart, but must use your mind to analyze also...

We can't foresee things that'll happen in the future.
Let's take a scenario, with two possible outcomes - one very painful ending, and one very blissful ending.
The painful ending seems more probable, so the brain says "NO, don't commit."
But the heart says "Maybe a miracle could happen, especially if you try hard enough."
How should I know which route to pick? -
talk is cheap.Originally posted by hisoka:come out leh
Maybe... maybe if you give me a white rose everyday until say, White Day, then I will give in.

Maybe I'll still be able to lead a fulfilling life... but it'll still be bland and neutral because I didn't take that leap of faith. -
Erm, actually I'm not so sure...Originally posted by hisoka:erm me sua ku whats a white day? significance?

Hmm... I remember smth abt "following the heart". Normally following the heart is to give in to the heart's desires. At times it may have good intentions, but most of the times it just lunges you into some unexpected situations you not prepared for.Originally posted by MooKu:I'm not so sure if I'd want to do that.

And normally the heart's desire is to do many sinful stuffs alot of times.
Imagine this:
You and a boy/girlfriend are close and has the intentions of getting married, however you 2 agreed to keep the sex part till marriage. Then comes one fine day when after some light-hearted comedy and tickling and laughter, you 2 got into the "lock on" mode.
Question. Do you follow your heart (which is to get it further and get it ON) OR do you follow your faith on the initial agreement (which is saving sex until marriage)? -
Clue ah..Originally posted by hisoka:

"Number Four"! -
Yeah... because, if it's not sinful there wouldn't be a dilemma.Originally posted by Bontakun:Hmm... I remember smth abt "following the heart".

Aiyoh... what a scenario... aiyoh. -
Tough eh? Between faith and heart, its never easy to decide. Especially when the attraction is so~~~ strong. It all boils down to your core values and beliefs liao.Originally posted by MooKu:Yeah... because, if it's not sinful there wouldn't be a dilemma.
Aiyoh... what a scenario... aiyoh.
I would be in a fix too if I tio such situation, which most likely I would prepare myself NEVER to go into "2 person alone" scenario until wedding. If there is any slight temptations, might as well get it off totally. So I can keep my end of the bargain and not do anything stooooooopid.
Respect self and her.
