Id much rather have reason than emotion.

[humanist7117]

You need both.

[humanist7117]

Reason without emotion is impotent.

[ohmandamp]

Would you care to elaborate?

[justforwatchingcraps]

emotion not kept in check by reason is destructive, reason is truth...

[AtheistEvolution]

Seems if reason is truth, then unreasonable emotion can only serve to add discord to that truth.

Clearly no one wants to live without emotion but lets try to keep it out of decisions. Emotional decisions and reactions are usually the terribly made ones.

Lets let emotion do its part where it is called for, and reason do what it was meant to do. That is make decisions and decipher truth.

Peace

Every decision one makes has an emotional component.

[humanist7117]

That is a very emotional statement!!

[AtheistEvolution]

You are absolutely not wrong! We should however try to minimize that effect as much as we can.

Emotion can skew the truth, but clearly you are right.
