what's most important to me?

the music or the words?
the solution or the code?
the occupation or the paycheck?
the sex or the orgasm?
the image or the description?
the number of friends or the connection between each?

...the love or the logic?

we all ask these question, whether we're aware of them or not, all the time. every choice you make is a selection of what is the most important thing to you at that time. every time that choice is made, there is something that goes on in your brain, something that asks your spiritual core what to do. your spiritual cores answers, and your decision is made. however, it all comes down to two very important archetypical concepts: dynamic or static. you could go with the jungian division, too, of male and female on top of that, but I think that the concept of male and female, as archetipycal models, can be better understood as having degrees, and the dynamic and static archetypical concepts provide a marginalization of those degrees.
(note: just remember, that, at any time, if you feal as if you don't understand what i'm talking about, just rest assured that i don't know what i'm talking about, either.)

if we need logic, structure, discipline, rigor, etc, we are static. the good part? once you have a framework for your life that works, it can take you far. the bad part? isolation, as the more you develope your own unchanging framework, the less you can adapt to the needs of other people.

if we need love, music, passion, drama, excitement, we are dynamic. The good part? living life like this IS the good part. this IS life. this is why we live. do you really want to admit that you live for you car? your house? no, of course not. if we have no passion, we have nothing. why bother living at all? The bad part? chaos. disorder. your life becomes a mess. too much drama. the idea of having "nothing to show for it" with the years of your life.

now, everyone needs a little structure and a little passion, a little love and a little money. The question that our deepest of deepests soul wants answered is not "which is important and which is not". The question is "which is MOST important?". There come's a point, however, when you have to choose: Elvis or the Beatles? red or blue? starsky or hutch? the cookie monster or Oscar the grouch? steak tips or buffalo wings?

the love or the logic?

me, i love love, but i'm in love with logic.
