It also means I believe that there is a set of individual rules that everyone should follow, it also means that I follow the rules. My seeing clearly is listening to my heart, I always follow my heart about everything before my head and that could also be a downfall. Sometimes I put my belief above others because it is what I think is right, but what I think is right is not always right.
