When the cold wind blows, and when your emotions blur your thoughts, the hazy amalgam of the two makes it so hard to distinguish the facts from pure emotions, and when the two blend and make a strong manifestation of what you really want and need, when needs and wants merge and become an irresistible one, when things start to make sense, you can't just reject them. When you can no longer question nor argue with what the mind and heart dictate, you resolve that you can object no more.

Objectivity is what rational people strive for, it's an endeavor that needs to cut the emotional strings. It is a struggle to let your mind take over your heart, but when emotions get tricky and start to steer your life, and you might end up dealing with bigger emotionally motivated problems, it's best to let your mind decide. But, when a decision is made without a heart, how can you be affirmed that it's the best? You won't know if it's right or wrong if it won't make you happy or regret, and you'll end up running in circles, always confronted by the same problem because a decision made without a heart is not a decision at all, it is a pitfall of the stoics.
