“Could it think, the heart would stop beating. ”
— Fernando Pessoa

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, thinking too much can be harmful. Imagine a person who is constantly worried, thinking about every possible problem or danger. This constant overthinking can cause stress and anxiety, which can make a person feel overwhelmed and stuck. If the heart behaved in the same way and started worrying about every beat it had to make, it might get so stressed out that it would stop working altogether. Just like how we need to let some thoughts go to stay calm and healthy, the heart needs to function without constant worry to keep us alive. So, it's important to keep things simple and not let overthinking take over our lives. By focusing on the present moment and not dwelling too much on worries, we can stay happier and healthier.
