I believe that there are 2 paths one can take to live a completely fulfilled life without suffering
A: The path of the Mind: Seeking true and total enlightenment
B: The path of the Heart (knowing your values, and living them regardless of circumstance)
I'd also like to know if anyone agrees with me, or if anyone thinks I am retarded, and why

Oh and I also believe that attempting to mix the paths will only lead to mental suffering and "feeling lost"
what separates this two paths? how do you get to ‘know’ your values without seeking ‘enlightenment’?

What is true and total enlightenment?
Our "values" are created by ourselves. I should have specified that what the "heart" tends to value are things like dedicating your life to art, for example.
By "enlightenment," I am referring to finding the essence or "answer" to the universe. Discovering what that is, you abandon absolutely everything else. I believe, and you can disagree, that the answer is that there is no obtainable answer, anything is possible, and absolutely nothing matters, so if I followed the path, I predict that I would end up killing myself.
Being this delusional. I hope you are still a teen
Read Plato please
I take no offense if you calling me delusional but could you at the least point out why?
>What philosophy is this?
you do realize philosophy (philosopiha / phílos- sophía) means "love of wisdom", right? I think it is important to dwell upon this coinage by the Greeks.
By bifurcating practical and theoretical you cleave the totality of knowledge in half by definition.
