Humans have 2 sources of thoughts:
-The all powerful and yet enigmatic brain of which sound and profound deductions are actualized.
-The personification of emotions and feelings called "heart", of which humane and sentimental decisions are conceived.
-The personification of emotions and feelings called "heart", of which humane and sentimental decisions are conceived.
(Do note this is my opinion through my observation)
If one is to live with lacking either of the above, he/she is inevitably bound to face much moral dilemma or emotional devastation in some point of time. It might all sound too cliche or like a typical plot for a shoujo manga but it is true verily. We need them both to function and live our lives up to a certain expectation.
When we lose our heart, yes we don't get distracted by love or any other emotions. However, that makes us no different than a machine. Optimal and precise, only focusing on the objectives and completing tasks. That's also when we are no longer bounded by moral obligations. This causes humans to be too task-oriented, leaving behind the consequences of our actions in order to fulfil any goal.

On the flip side when we only use our heart, we get blinded by our feelings and emotions. This leaves us vulnerable to falsehood and deception. When people are nice to us, we label them as friends or allies. Once we enter the comfort zone, without the aid of level-headed thinking we get complacent. We are also susceptible to blind compassion and impetuous decision making. Heard of spur of the moment?
All that I am saying is that we need both. To keep everything in balance is to live a human and humane life. One cannot solely depend on any preferentially, yet determining which to utilize can be a hassle. Life's never easy but as long as we choose to use our brains or intelligence while retaining our emotions, otherwise known as the "heart", we will find a better choice among the 2 decision making engines.

We all know 2 is better than 1 numerically. So as to resolve matters, in any event we do make a wrong choice we learn from it. Having 2 options is most definitely better than one, but just don't get too caught up and lost in any of the 2.
