Follow your heart or your head?

I just came back from my office - it's around midnight. I have so many deadlines, but I was not working. I was reading. Today I've got the first volume of Sandman, a popular comics book. I tried reading it on the bus in the evening, on my way back from home to the office after noticing the absence of my house key in the bag. I could not easily follow the story though. To get familiar with the story line, I looked online to read some reviews. I usually know the story of the books I buy, but this time a good friend with whom I share many interests introduced the author to me, thus I thought I may like the comic series too. I read about Sandman and  also about To kill a Mockingbird, which I'm listening to these days. When I was coming back home, I was so excited, happy, satisfied with my day. I know if I was doing programming, I was just a dead person walking in street. After I got home, a blaming voice came over me: "You should have spent your time on your work. You have a deadline!". "I love reading," another voice replied back. The blaming voice cried, "No, it's childish. You should spend your youth energy on your career until you secure a job. Later you would have time to enjoy doing what you love." The child stubbornly replied, "If there would remain any time for that! If I would be alive by then! What if I die tomorrow, and I wouldn't have read those amazing books? Ha?!" The blaming voice stayed quiet. The child continued, "Do you remember all those inspring speeches and talks we listen to all the time, by all those influential people? Doesn't everyone say we should do what we love to do, not what we are expected to do?" The blaming voice nodded and disappeared. The child murmured, "for God's sake, it was my evening! Why is she so annoying all the time?!" 

It was quite a success. It made me very much suprised. I am very glad my child has got back her corage and voice again.
