EMOTIONAL love


We don't ask for emotions... and when we do, they don't appear how, when, for whom we want them to. Its difficult, to make judgments based off these things. When you think about it, its an interesting correlation we make; somehow, we're supposed to rationalize decisions based off of the irrational. Emotions aren't rational; we're compelled to do something based off of a feeling, not because anything we know or were taught. So is using emotions to make decisions unintelligent? Before you quickly answer yes or no, lets look at some more properties of decision making and of emotions. The decision making process is often a complex systematic break down of physical need, tangible evidence, human instinct, instilled morals, and sensory perception. Emotion is tied into "feeling", which can be cerebral as well as physical, chemical and mental. Well, I don't understand the physics and mechanics tied into emotions or feeling, but I  do know that it is associated with intuition. Why do certain things give you a "bad feeling". Why do some people make you "feel" different than you usually do about people. Why do girls cry, ALL THE TIME? Emotions, and for whatever reason, were designed to have and use them. I think, as surprising as this is, its because logic and ration need balance. To be able to facilitate all the components of our person, to marry the intellectual resonation with the spiritual, to be HUMAN means we're to have emotions. So, could love be an emotion? Maybe. But perhaps, to love, or be in love, is a cognitive decision, one that requires us to facilitate all reasoning strategies, and all feeling. Its logic, its poetic, its emotional. Love love love you. Just a thought. <3
