The heart has arguments with which the logic of mind is not

Summary

This quote suggests that the heart possesses a form of understanding or knowledge that goes beyond what logic or reasoning can comprehend. It implies that there are certain emotions, desires, or convictions that arise from the heart, and these cannot be explained or understood solely through intellectual analysis. There are aspects of human experience that elude the confines of logic, demonstrating the limitations of rationality when it comes to understanding the complexities of the heart and its motivational factors.

One of the fundamental reasons why so many doctors become cynical and disillusioned is precisely because, when the abstract idealism has worn thin, they are uncertain about the value of the actual lives of the patients they are treating. This is not because they are callous or personally inhuman: it is because they live in and accept a society which is incapable of knowing what a human life is worth.
