Reason and Emotion

I have realized that there are two main categories to divide everything that someone does, thinks, or says. The categories are "Logic" and "Emotion."
Everyone tries to think logically, instead of senseless.

It's the logical thinkers who built Rome, created the internet, and put man on the moon.
It's the emotional thinkers who had sex and gave birth to those logical ones.

It's a never ending battle between logic and emotion.

Logic lets you survive, but Emotion lets you live.

No one can ever live and be completely logical. That person is a robot
But no one can ever survive and be completely emotional. That person would probably run into traffic.

An educated person has logically concluded that to optimize their life to the fullest extents, they must only think logically in every situation, 100%. They're too smart for their own good...

This, however, will not allow the person to be happy. Yes, happy. An emotion. How can a logical person allow emotion to infect their plan for a logical life? Simple. We are not robots. We are human. Regardless to how much the logical thinkers hate hearing it, we are still human beings. We are incapable of programming ourselves to be completely efficient. We are still infected by the same emotions that an average twelve-year-old girl has. Although the logical thinkers are capable of suppressing some of the more unnecessary emotions, like rage, gluttony, jealousy, sadness, ect.

But sooner or later, the logical thinker will come across a situation that would make a computer start to buzz and screech "ERROR," something that just doesn't fit in a nice pattern of Zeros and Ones.
The rational thinker.. comes across Love. Maybe not love as in true love, maybe just lust, or 'liking someone' or whatever. If the logical thinker comes across such a situation, they are stumped. They have no files in their databanks to handle this new influx of raw data.
Then, suddenly, the heart, or 'emotion' jumps in to try to handle the situation.
The logical thinker can either allow this, or continue to try and maintain situation logically.
It is impossible to attempt to keep a logical mind in an emotional situation such as this.

The brick wall of reason is not the logical reaction to the open arms of love.
The emotional part of the brain continues to try to take over the situation. It knows what to do, and how to steer the person in the right direction. Continuing to ignore the emotional thoughts may lead to confusion on what to do next, or a belief that the 'emotional' thoughts being had are 'bad.'
The unfortunate result to the Rational thinker...

But then, simple. We think logically, and then whenever we get confused, we get emotional, right?
No. That's the philosophy of a Sixth-Grader.
One must create a balance of logic and emotion to be truly happy. They must always keep their emotions in check, but not completely caged up. Emotions are useful from time to time. Shocking. And thinking with pure logic only leads down bad roads. Have you ever seen the movie iRobot? Yeah, that's what'll happen.
Vicki the Robo-brain: "My Logic is undeniable."
Will Smith: "You have so got to die."

I know first hand what it's like dealing with both kinds of people, one of my parents is a logical thinker, and one of my parents is an emotional thinker. The logical one usually gets his way, since he evokes reason in the argument that she cannot deny. This works most of the time. Then, other times, all she has to do is delve into her emotional thought processor and make her emotions apparent, and she will get her way easily. The logical thing is to let the emotional one have what she wants, to lower the risk of further emotional trauma.
Sometimes, he, the emotional thinker, doesn't budge so easily, resulting in, what we'd like to call, a fight.*
*I may or may not have swapped him/her to keep the true identity of the parents hidden.

There are serious problems that people have when they can't properly balance their feelings with their logic. Various things can occur. The person may go into s temper tantrum, the person may go into the "I don't know" phase, where the battle of logic and emotion reaches its peak. People generally enter this phase when they are thinking about Love, and the things surrounding Love. People attempt to put logic into Love, the one place that logic does not belong.
A man hops on a plane to go hundreds, if not thousands of miles to visit his ill mother. There is no calculated logic in the reasoning of these actions. The actions are based on Love.
You know that phrase "the heart wants what it wants"? Well that's translated into "My emotional processors have overridden the logical ones and have now exclaimed that they desire something that logically makes little to no sense." Roles off the tongue, yes?
The important thing to note is that if you reach a phase of continually repeating "I don't know" about something having to do with a boy or a girl or a man or a woman or whatever, the 'logical' thing to do, is to divert the logic receptors in your processor, and allow the emotion program to start controlling the situation.
