But you can't just say follow your heart, pretty soon, it'll be "I beat up that innocent women and her kids because my heart told me to do so".
We know we get gut instincts, but we don't realy know much about them, maybe it's just what we fear, and so maybe you fear the consiquences of the guy getting beaten up.
Also, believe it or not, what we think is right and wrong, our morality, is defined by mainstream religeon, it doesn't have to be religon, but it's so powerful now that it is.
The mayans and aztecs practised sacrifice, it was a reward for them.
Today, our "hearts" would tell us to save someone from being sacrificed.
But if we were these people, our "hearts" would have told us something different.
Also, take for example, african tribes like the Zulus who purposly disfigured themselves so they would be less attractive as slaves, but would your "heart" let that happen now.
In conclusion, our "heart" can be easily influenced by the world around us, and what we believe in, and therefore, you cannot rely on a majority to follow it's rule.
