I came across a quote by Horace Walpole. It states that "The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think".

So, when is it better to listen to your head instead of your heart?? And why does the heart hurt when you listen to your head?

I think (my opinion) it's because the head is much more rational than the heart. But isn't that what makes us human? Sometimes you just gotta go with your heart.heart beating

I imagine even old Horace was not laughing all the time. Life is a tragedy, a comedy, a drama, a farce, and most of all simply profound. There are great joys in life and great sorrows....so I don' think even the person who mostly 'feels' is finding life a tragedy throughout. cheers

The most important things are felt (or seen) with the heart. The head is just a destructive screwed up machine. Walpole was quite right to me.

No, nobody could, at least you reach the destiny of Hoelderlin or Bécquer. And even in those cases a human being is an inmense source of contradiction: an angel tortured with demons, a devil that remembers his lost lolyness with nostalgy. It is so madly messy.
