Discussion Logic or Emotion

That is an amazing view point thanks for typing that out

You're correct that life is nice when you just let go but at the same time its sort of hard if you've never actually let loose not to say that i haven't but it is rare for me to just kick my feet back and think today was fun

 

how??? XD 1) my mind just won't stop. 2) how does emptying the mind help on controlling emotions?

 

Ideally, I'd like to think i act on logic, at least on some level. But that "logic" is very clearly being guided by my emotions in ways I'm not even aware of. Even when I recognize a bias, I often find myself shrugging my shoulders and turning a blind eye.

 

Logic when I'm not at home... But emotional otherwise

 

Wish i`d be logic ... but i`d be lying !




Btw i read the title as lotion or emotion ...

 

Ive learned this the hard way.

Emotions depends on your logic...
Say you have a guy screaming at you with every racist remarks one can find in a dictionary. You would normally get angry right? And then in 5 minutes while you are arguing with the guy, 2 men in uniform comes to take him away. They inform you the guy just escaped from an assylum, his parents beat him when he was a kid and force him that way.
Now instead of anger, you would change into a pity emotion.

If you never let logic rules your emotions, you are doomed to struggle in learning depending on your emotions. Coz people would get upset when they make mistakes, and if you can not calm down to learn from your mistakes, you can not advance.

 

Uh and why is that?

True emotion and logic are almost intertwined but my logic is sort of based on efficiency that sort of thing and also i don't truly believe my logic is flawless i know for a fact that if i can let a bit of emotion come into work and stuff i can have more creative ideas to help

 

so you mean whether i think before acting or act before thinking....
The answer is..... (I'm still thinking.)

 

1)I can't help you in clearing your mind thats sort of a thing i spent my entire life doing
2)Emptying the mind helps you calm down and think things through easier at least for me,could be different for you but i don't know

 

well I can honestly say since i have been screamed at by a racist person but i didn't care one bit instead i just took my book out and started reading I have no pity for that sort of thing and even if your parents don't like a particular race or color and try to enforce it on you doesn't mean you as the child should follow that type of thinking i sure as hell didn't.

 

I mostly just don't act. Emotions? Logic? It's all just patterns that have been programmed into you by parents, teachers, peers, society... You just rationalize your actions by associating them with emotion or logic.

 

True but in order to have revolutionary ideas you need to break through that programming correct?

 

Thanks for all those who actually took their time of day to respond its definitely given me some food for thought I appreciate it.

 

You know that our logic is mostly based common sense which itself is already flawed?

 

I do know that
technically common sense is the culmination of all your experiences and it can change with the passage of time

 

I try to use a balance of both... though I can be pretty heartless when needed.

 

So your logic is not flawless and you can keep improve it.

 

I use both of them

 

*sigh
It's more to what heart tells me to do. If what i do makes my heart feeling right, I'll do it. And same to reverse that. And logic sometimes can't be use in certain place

 

Emotion after thinking logically..
