Emotions vs. Logic

We are all naturally made up of complex and diverse emotions. Especially women; we can seemingly cry at the drop of a dime. Interestingly though women are also strong in the way we are able to handle and put up with so much. In most cases women seem to be more emotional than men. It’s usually because women hold a lot in, but it’s only a matter of time before we breakdown and let it all out. Just as a sponge can only hold so much water before it can’t soak up anymore. Where as for men they usually deal with their emotions internally. The reason I say there is no logic in emotion is because when u act off emotion your actions usually aren’t logical. Really think about it. When we regret saying something to someone it’s usually the times when we are hurt by that person or feel like we need to be defensive. You seldom will regret something that you say or do when you are not acting off emotions. That’s why when something bad or hurtful happens to you, people will tell you to sleep on it. The way you handle the situation in the morning is going to be different from the way you would have handled it while you where in the moment. We can’t help the way we feel. Sometimes we can’t even justify our emotions. There are times you will be in a bad mood or feel hurt and you can't even pinpoint why you are feeling that way. Try to switch your focus by doing something that you enjoy doing. Go for a walk and self-analyze yourself. Nobody knows you better than you know yourself. You might even find that it’s not what someone else did to you that got you feeling down. It could be something from within. In order to change the way you feel you have to address the problem. It’s so easy to put the blame on someone else. Sometimes you just have to make a small change in order to find happiness. We get caught up in dwelling on the smallest things sometimes. I look back sometimes and say to myself “Why was I even trippin about that?” In the moment something someone did or said to me bothered me, but in retrospect it was something so stupid. Before you act out on emotion, stop and really think about the consequences your actions will bring. Every action causes a reaction. The best way to solve a problem is to give it a little time; sleep on it. Then act on it when you are thinking logically, not emotionally.

  2. I have to say that I am a very emotional person and usually don't take my time to think about everything locically.

    I don't know why but my heart rules my head.

    What you say is true though and I can just agree. I wish sometimes I would take a lil bit more time to think about everything.

    I think sometimes it needs that you listen to your heart becasue often your intuition is right.

    "There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance." - Albert Einstein

    Thinking logical and our emotions that lead us are maybe more close as we ever thought... who knows.

    Continue your writing you are doing great

  3. I'll admit, I'm the type of guy that let's my emotions get to me a lot. I tend to beat myself whenever I mae a mistake because I feel I not only let mysef dow, I let other people down with my mistakes. I just feel if I don;t beat myself up over what I did wrong, I will never learn from those mistakes. I am working harder though to stop doing that and accept my mistakes and move on.

  4. I agree that emotions and logic don't mix. We can't control our emotions. We can try, but we can't never control them totally. But I believe that with working on ourselves is the key to easier and more simple life wothout any complications that maybe unwanted emotions can cause.

  5. Emotions vs. Logic .. what a way to say it! I struggle between knowing the time for school and then dance. Upon graduating high shcool, I struggled .. A LOT! My mind told me school, my heart told me dance .. everyone always says "follow your heart" ... but that's not realistic

  6. It’s funny, whenever you think of any kind of argument between guys Vs. girls whether it’s just playing around or serious, it all comes down to emotion- how they were feeling for what ever you did to them, while Logic is how you thought of your actions before it happened, could you have stopped it? etc. But it’s true that women are built with a different kind of emotion (not being sexist of course) Women were created strong in certain parts as to bare carrying and having a baby, with all of the hormones etc. when a crisis happens women kick into I kind of strong state where they can handle it quick. For example, She Has a son, he runs away because he’s depressed.. and just found out her son attempted suicide, the woman will instantly go, ok so how can we resolve this (of course she’s crying and emotional but it doesn’t stop her) her logic kicks in to be resourceful. Men handle emotion in the worst way by bottling it up, to them it seems less manly to cry, or show any insecurity. This in most cases ends in depression, so is it really logic not just to say “That made me feel…” And off the record, I wouldn’t mind a guy who can cry sometimes ☺ haha. any way with the male emotions, they can deal in some situations better than females such as if you think of a Police man, of course a Police woman can do exactly the same, but males can handle Gore a lot better etc and stressful scenarios involving danger, they think logically differently here. If you’ve ever been a female cop for a week like I have, it is a whole different experience with emotions (and I wasn’t even in the thick of it) no one has the same emotions or logic as someone else. It seems ( a generalization) Women are more emotional, and Guys are more logic, why do you think they kick our ass at maths haha. In the end if you are on the spot and have to think quickly, it is better to be logical first, deal with it the best way you can. Then after talk about it or share/ express your emotions, and that will safe lives. ☺

    Xoxo Amo
