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.
