The Heart Wants What the Heart Wants
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To each their own. A whole family of sayings points at one truth: our preferences are deeply personal, and that's worth respecting.
The Idea
"The heart wants what the heart wants" captures the individuality of our passions and choices, the same idea behind "there's no accounting for taste."
Preferences are personal and often inexplicable, so the wise response to others' choices is respect, not judgment.
What These Sayings Teach
Embrace individuality
Each person's tastes and desires are their own, and that diversity is worth appreciating.
Respect others' choices
You can respect a choice even when you don't understand or agree with it.
Suspend judgment
Your view of someone's preferences is subjective and doesn't define their real worth.
Follow your own heart
Pursue your passions even when they don't make sense to anyone else.
