mind over heart

"If you cannot get someone off your mind, it is maybe because he/she is supposed to be there"

REMEMBER : the mind can recognize what the mind is trying to deny

It is true dnt u think? our minds do recognize the things that our hearts keep on denying but why is it then we still stay in a certain scenario after we get hurt? Does that mean that even if our mind recognizes the pain and suffering that we are encountering still it chooses to be blind to just ignore the things that it sees and go on wth the flow?
