conflict of emotions

"your soul is often a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgement wage war against your passion and your appetite"

Kahlil Gibran

How many of us have suffered a soul in torment? through excess of passion or limitations of reason. If I could bring peace to your soul I would offer you tranquility and acceptance, but unless you also desire inner peace and accept who you are, then my offering is useless.

Passion and reason must live together, hand in hand, for reason alone can create confinement, and passion let loose leads to self destruction. here we experience a conflict of the two.

You would not love one child more than the other, so why favor in excess one sentiment above another?

Equal these sentiments are constructive...unequal they become destructive.
