The Hea(rt)dbreak

Many of us in our life have faced heartbreak at some point of our life. A couple of us crib and sulk about it for quite a long time and a few learn to accept it quickly and move on. But at the time of heartbreak a person is under turmoil and agitation and his productivity level goes down drastically. The ability to think rationally goes for a toss, the entire time is spent on analyzing what went wrong and who was at fault. They look for answers for their questions at several places; friends, colleagues, parents, psychiatrist, internet and if nothing works they talk to their pet(s) and seek answers from them. A part of them does tell them that the answer they are looking for is well within them or they have already found out the answer from someone, yet they are not able to accept it as a solution and look for ways that can end their mental pain instantaneously. There are certain suicidal cases as well which make them think that once the life ends all the pain and misery ends.

Now whichever way a person reacts, there’s one thing in common in them and it’s certainly not a heart failure but a head failure. A smart person becomes insane not because he is a heart patient but because he has lost his ability to think and analyze. The brain which was working faster than a supercomputer becomes slower than a snail. The dull, pale and dumb look on his face clearly shows that he’s ‘lost it!’ After cribbing continuously to friends without paying any heed to their advice, eventually the friend too come out with their white flags and say that the person is out of his mind at the moment. Despite knowing all this, why on earth it is called HEARTbreak? The heart is performing all its duties regularly and with 100% efficiency. Then why are we insulting and blaming the poor heart for no fault of his? A person falls in love because he/she ‘thought’ that the other person’s company would be enjoyable and after he/she breaks-up again the ‘thinking’ capability buggers up. So when the thinking process is being done by the brain, let it get the blame, after all when all the credit for good thinking goes to the brain let it also be made responsible for the failures as well and not blame the heart.

So in future if anyone (god forbid!) has to separate from their loved one’s let’s call it a Headbreak and not Heartbreak!
