Synopsis

The battle has raged ever since man began standing upright. No matter how technologically advanced we become, the question remains. What controls us? 

Is it our logic and our deductive/inductive reasoning, or is it our emotions, and our desires and impulsive reactions?

There is no question that both systems play a part, a role in our behavioral reactions. We want to believe we are logical, rational beings.

All this aside, our intelligence or rationality is frequently guided, or undermined, by our emotions. We often buy things because we want them (they make us feel good), not always because we need them. We are sometimes (or often) impulsive, reacting before we think. We fall prey to good salesmen or fancy advertising, and then realize we’ve been duped. 

Believe it or not, our emotions fuel our actions. Without emotional input we evaluate, but don’t do anything.  It’s been suggested that 80% of all decision-making is emotion, and only 20% is logic.
So, one of the goals of life is to balance your emotions and your logic. Not let either rule the day (much easier said than done).
