"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry. But why on Earth should that mean that it is not real?"
-Albus Dumbledore
It's weird. We shout a few token phrases to make us think that we have control: Mind over matter! It's all about willpower! Learn to prioritize!
What does that even mean. Do we need to harness our thoughts instead of humoring them in order to be happy? So things like Body Language, Vibes, Gut Feelings - these guys are criminals. Supposed to be behind bars with Rationale and Reality guarding a close watch?
If we are told to have faith in our future, which is so completely detached from us, it seems silly that we shouldn't have faith in our own core, which we can feel pushing against our hardened chests. Those emotions, however vague, come from somewhere within us - this much we know. What we lack is a solid reason to ignore our own instincts.
And yet for some reason, the best we can do to offer a stark contrast to the shouting of our peers is a faint whisper: follow your heart.
