There are some things that I've never been able to understand, questions that I've never been able to answer to myself at least (to others, perhaps, yes) with a 100% conviction, and since it's exam time again, I'm back to excessively thoughtful, extremely vella, lonely, sedate, omnipresent yet oblivious routines of mine interspersed with 5-mins-of-studying-an-hour characteristic to these auspicious weeks of the semester. That is why, yet again, I find myself questioning seemingly pointless things, to myself, and in the process letting my frustration of not finding an answer ruin my studies anyway.
Hell, why I'm so complicated???
That was the first question by the way. Now, some of the others...
- At times of conflict, should one listen to the heart or the mind, because both famously contradict each other so much? Is there a middle path? Are there always obvious, situation-specific, personalised parameters that govern this choice? I've noticed the heart hurts more in the long run than the mind, which makes the initial path to anything tougher. But is this always true, or the limitations of my perspetive and experience?
- Is it right to demand justice, when the price you know you're gonna need to pay is much more than the value you associate with the justice itself? Is it feasible, sensible, esp if the path to it is gonna involve hurting/disrespecting/alienating lotsa people you don't want to offend?
- Should we try to be more (so-called) idealistic, moralistic, righteous etc etc, or is it more important to be successful? What is, and what's the need of "political correctness"? Sometimes I feel it's important to be politically correct, sometimes I find honesty, frankness, tolerance, and so-called morality more important?
- Why am I so sensitive? Can't I be more sensible instead? Why do I have to realise my mistakes only "after" I've done them?
- What goes wrong with me every exam time? Hell, I should be more worried about thermodynamic properties of gases and material balances right now, than philosophical properties of the human mind, and the balance of this world!!!
Sorry for copyright violation ppl, but I have to say this...CRAP!!!

Whatever ... just try to look ahead and make sure you never have to regret the decision you took.

According to me ... NO
Should we try to be more (so-called) idealistic, moralistic, righteous etc etc, or is it more important to be successful?
If you are comfortable not being righteous, just concentrate on being successful. But if your conscience rebels, i guess you will be better off being idealistic.
Why am I so sensitive? Can't I be more sensible instead?
Wwould you really want to ? Being sensitive is a great gift which many lack ... why would you want to give it up ?

Being sensitive is a great gift which many lack ..

though it doesnt really pacify my confusions
How can it ? People have struggled with these questions from time immemorial ... how can a poor mortal like me answer them all ? :p
It just means that most people are insensitive.
Good that these questions have started coming to you...keep struggling.
I tell you from my experience, mostly the answers to such questions are really and absurdly simple, but you need to struggle with the answers to understand them too!!!
Well i shall not give away the answers for unfortunately no one can be told (what the matrix is ;))
You'll succeed and when you do...BLISS!
