Are you a thinker, or a feeler?

Mind over heart, heart over mind
You are given less than 3 seconds to decide. If you think that you are a thinker please step to the left. If you feel that feeling right is more appropriate, please step to the right. Now, are you sure you are what you said?

There was this question that someone recently popped up in a group discussion. Are you a person who thinks more or are you the type to feel instead. It was a concept that held up my brain that whole day- I was made confused. Which side was I on?

The first template that surfaced on my brain was I'm supposed to be a feeler. Mainly due to the fact that I like to associate myself with values of creativity and what I seem to set my life on. Then again, I found myself thinking,  I had always been thinking. I don't feel for inspirations, I think about ideas. That seems to be the species of human I have always been; putting a cold touch of logic into a warm cup of  mindless thought. I've convinced myself I'm no artist, I can't paint for nuts.

 Which is more important, you feel that the answer is right or you think that the answer is right? By saying feeling means you have convinced yourself that you are absolutely sure in your senses. However, when you think, you have conjured up an equation of reasoning and logic that leads to your conclusion- if by no careless mistake, you will not be wronged.

But I can't say for sure I'm an all out thinker. Feeling for the right moment is also important. I can think of a composition of photo shot, but I can only feel for the right moment to snap the moment. At this point, I have yet to decide whether I'm the truly thinking guy or am I'm covering my mouth acting I'm in deep thought but I'm actually feeling otherwise.

It seems I'm into some weird concepts again, and I like to ponder about them. Usually I don't record them down but this time round I let it out for once before it goes lost in the universe of my mind. And one more point, we all knew the answer- it doesn't matter which side, they are just like yin and yang. I feel/think that we need both of them as humans and there is really no point arguing which is better.
