I would say that having either of them damns you to a life of disharmony. It should be our primary concern to be strong centers of balance in our worlds, and to do that requires a strong mind and a broad heart.
I think enlivening the heart is most naturally accomplished through a general appreciation, foregoing any habitual complaint. Along with that, a deliberate, private meditation of forgiveness, actually going as far back as you can remember; releasing memories one by one; either forgiving or apologizing . I’ve found this exercise has a profound result, as the heart becomes unencumbered. I believe we can strengthen our minds with what we feed them. Thanks Gregg, wonderful start today.
