33 Before 33: 14

14. Brain vs. Heart vs. Vag/D vs. Gut

I believe there are 4 separate parts of a person that affect their individual decision making process.

  • The brain
  • The heart
  • The vagina or dick
  • The gut

Sometimes one of these decides to lead the show, maybe its 3 clashing with each other, and if you’re really fucked—its all 4 going battle royale style.

The brain

The brain is the center of all reason and the least fun. This is the part of the body that relies solely on facts. Its purpose is to compute rational decisions. The brain doesn't need a lot of time to choose for you, it's 100% objective. What is the best option on paper? The brain tells you right away, it's every other part of your body that makes you indecisive, after all... you're not a robot.

The heart

The heart is either the most selfish or selfless decision maker, I don’t think there is any middle ground. The heart is the most torturous judge, it's also easily the strongest or weakest part of you at any given point. The heart has all the feelz. All. The. Fucking. Feelz. BTW, this mother fucker has allies, it has a full squad motivated by touch. Watch out for your hands, cheeks and lips cause they’re all in cahoots with the heart.

The vagina / dick

Don’t listen to this fucker. AT. ALL. Its only objective is to experience pleasure, as inconvenient and crazy as the opportunities may be. Actually, I take that back. If you can’t settle for wack privates from the opposite sex you shouldn’t settle. So fine—let them chime in, but don’t let them run the show unless you want to be ruined completely.

The gut

I’ve never mentioned the gut. The gut can over rule all the other stake holders if it so chooses to. The gut needs zero rationale, yet it can give you the strongest motivation to sway to any particular decision. This one might surprise you, almost always.
