Brain vs. Heart

So, I just had a profound brain moment. Not normal for me, I know, but it happened nonetheless...

Einstein was considered a genius. And why was he such a genius? Not because he worked hard, 'cause he flunked out of every freakin' class in high school (even though it's not called high school in Germany) and dropped out. It was because he (supposedly) used more brain than the normal person. The average person uses something like 11-12% of their brain for conscious mental thought. The rest is used for memory storage and subconscious thought and the like. Einstein apparently used like, 17-18%, or something like that. We're supposed to have the same potential as him, we just don't live up to Einstein. And where is he now? In all the history books. He's famous. Everyone in the world has seen the ugly gray/white mustache on his ugly face. Just because he's ugly doesn't mean he's not smart, though.

This is the profound part. What if our hearts are the same way? I know that all they do (scientifically speaking, of course) is pump your blood, but we all know that your heart is the emotional center of your body. Now, let's say, hypothetically, that the average person uses 11-12 % of his/her heart for caring. That's fair enough, since we have other things to do with our heart (i.e. pumping blood, etc.). But what if we lived up to Einstein? What if, instead of just being average, we used 17-18% of our hearts for love, friendship, and for making the world a better place?

Just a thought...
