The Hidden Powers of Logic and Emotions
Feelings matter more than you think
Who hasn’t noticed the two kinds of people in the world? Emotions drive some, while others rely heavily on logic. Most of us live between these extremes, shifting depending on the situation. But which approach leads to a better life — living emotionally or logically? Let’s explore this dichotomy by examining the differences and commonalities between the two.
Logic and emotion
There is little doubt that logic and emotion influence how we navigate life. Logic involves rational thought and objective facts, while emotions stem from feelings and personal experiences. We often associate logic with the head and emotions with the heart.
