In a dream

One day deep in my sleep, I heard an argument. I thought it was an argument between my mind and heart.
Mind was shouting at the heart,"You complain that the world hurts you, but can the world be blamed if you are too sensitive? You just pathetically stick to your vain hope."
Heart replied,"My hope is stronger than your confidence".
M:You confuse between confidence and hope. Confidence is to have the capability to anticipate every situation and the response. Your hope unlike my confidence is doomed. Like a drowning man you hold on and expect to be saved by the few blades of grass that neither have strength nor the depth to hold you.
H:A mind all logic is like a sword all blade. These few blades of grass can make a rope that binds elephants. What do you know about hope, it brings out the extraoridnary in ordinary. It drives the worlds. Ignorant of the majestic world, you take false refuge in your confidence, it is nothing but your vanity speaking.

Listening to all this, a voice deep within said, let not the blade mock the handle that it is blunt. Work together and the blade and the handle become a formidable sword that strikes at the roots of ignorance. I shall be the warrior who holds the sword. Remember, long time ago power said to the world, you are mine and the world made it a prisoner of throne. Love said, Iam yours and the world gave her the freedom of the house.
Who are you? Mind and heart asked in unison...
There was only a sound of soft smile and an eternal silence.
