Emotion vs Intellect

Emotion(organic lines) and intellect(straight lines) are two sides of the coin.They always work in tandem. Sometimes the intellect analyses the emotions and bends them to a more logical solution. Sometimes the emotion takes over the intellect and creates a new point of view. You have to nurture both of them and to keep both of them in balance. One of them gets out of hands and your inner self get handicapped.

You have two forces pulling you in different directions : Logic (black lines) and Feelings(red lines). If you go by the Logic only, your life would be deserted and sterile (the right parts of the painting). If you succumb to your feelings, you would get overwhelmed by them. And eventually you would be drawn in chaos(the left parts of the painting). But if you keep to the middle (the center parts of the painting), avoiding extremities, your life will flourish. Balance is everything.
