Rational thinking is the part of your brain that helps you to make better decisions during a tough situation. It brings about better outcomes than when making decisions based off of emotions. Decisions are often made based off of preferences and our morals but when a person makes decisions using their emotions it is being done it the spur of the moment based on what they feel right then. This has more negatives than positives whereas logical thinking promotes planning ahead for the future and is most often viewed in the image of a balancing scale; balance of the positives and negatives before handling the situation.

My friend Bob is a logical thinker, whom makes decisions based on what he believes God would do. He chooses to follow in life based on a path of religon. In disagreement, I believe that all decisions are altimately made based on emotions no matter how much people invest in trying to make them logical. As stated earlier, every decision is normally based off a preference or moral in which an idividual holds, which altimately means that subconciously you are still making emotional based decisions because of what you've grown up being taught or how you feel towards a situation.

On the other hand, logic is used also by our morals or elder information taught to us. For example the teachings of the Bible: they have the commendents which no matter what religion, humanity has been brought up doing, or trying to follow. It is the subconcious right from wrong that lingers within the minds of every individiual.

If someone witnessed another drop their wallet, most people would be kind enough to inform them and return that wallet because logically speaking we were taught that it was the right thing to do. Emotion also has a play on this because it involves the feeling of guilt if the witness kept it, or the possiblity of feeling humble or "God-like" for doing the right thing and returning it. In the mind the balance of feelings of right or wrong are considered greatly which inforces our decisions as well.

Be Mine

Love is the most important things a person needs in life. It is that special "touch" that helps them discover themselves and harvest the person that they harbor inside. Love is important in life for many reasons; it is what makes a person a tyrant or a kindred spirit. It is what makes them stronger, or weak like water. Love is confidence, memories, and stability.

Confiding brings about trust and comfort that instills strength. It allows you to be open with another individual instead of consistently bottling up feelings. Expression is one of the most powerful elements of the human mind, and without it a individual may lose site of what is going on around them because mindfulness has dissolved into a "black hole" of emotions due to this lack of expression. Having someone to be there to go through obstacles in life with you is one of God's greatest gifts. It is called true fellowship. It may bring a person to their knees in a time of despair but it brings about real trust which everyone longs for. Love is more than just a word; its a train, merely being the caboose starting a long trail of other words. Although all trains must come to an end, love may not. once first endured, humanity thrives and craves for more. We as humans, long for love because we are social creatures and look at love as affection or a sense of belonging; we want acceptance of some sort within our own kind.

Memories are something that the mind cherishes in times of lonesomeness or remembrance. It gives a sense of hope for tomorrow, a sense of being, a reminder of what your doing, and helps you distinguish the good and bad times. Memories are stories that always hold a importance and may also be a lesson. From personal experiences we often times learn new things and what a better way than to do it and grow with others. It allows open thought and discussion and creates memories that help you to better remember and connect to other knowledge.

Everyone looks for some sense of stability in their life. Someone to hold them up when they fall down or be there to cheer them on when they are close to success and need a little push to succeed at their goal. Everyone looks toward someone to direct them in some sense of right or wrong and without it they are just riding on neutral straddling a line with no boundaries or morals. Stability could be faith or something that anyone looks to for security. A sense of ownership or belonging. Many need something to help them along and look forward to; something they can always count on to be there. For most that stability is affection or acceptance. Love helps you open your eyes to the world around you and brings about positive thoughts. Love comes in all manors, and everyone looks for it in the most obvious manor: another being. It was how we were brought to be. Much like Adam after God created him. He longed for a companion to be there for him in time of need which may not always be negative. Needs could be something that is not negative, such as just someone to talk to and keep you grounded, or someone to hold to when you feel you have wandered from your chosen path in life. Stability holds many definitions but it is to whom it is looked upon by that determines its definition when it comes to the true sense of love.
