I always think I'm damn logical and reasonable. But when I end up feeling shitty over the 'right' decisions I've made, I wonder - are they really worth it, and am I actually emotional and needy of happiness rather than correctness?
Such a dilemma, isn't it. For my Creative Writing class this week, we're supposed to write on the tensions between reason and emotion. Reading on research from a psych perspective, it says that emotions are an automatic system, while reasoning is controlled. I guess I can parallel this to another topic I blogged about previously, about the brain and how there are the desires of the id, and the morals of the superego. Then I guess, the ego probably directs and manages both these sets of opposites.
I wish the ego was as simple a matter as how proud I was. Lawl. Meh.
From time to time I should give in to my emotions, my desires. If I'm just going to keep listening strictly to my morals and reasons, I'm going to become so emotionally tortured...
I just hope it all plays out well.
Please do.
Because when it comes to emotions, the game becomes not just about you anymore.
