Rational / Emotional

​

   If we were totally rational and logical we wouldn't be humans, we'd be machines.  If we were entirely emotional, we wouldn't exist.

 

   Emotions are instantaneous.  Reasoning takes time.   As immediate and powerful as emotion is, and it is powerful, it is only a rational and logical processes that are capable of counterbalancing unfounded, destructive fear and prejudices. 

 

   Our ability to be rational and logical are our vessel’s rudder that safely takes us through the challenging seas of destructive negative emotions, misinformation and disinformation.

​

   On the other hand, the winds of positive emotions propel our vessel to lands that enrich our rational and logical decisions around relationships with family, friends and community. 

 

   We survive and thrive because of the healthy combination of the rational, logical and emotional.  This makes us humans human.
