Logic And Emotions

I love to watch the Discovery Channel proagramme especially show such as The Universe and How The Earth Was Made. I love to watch it because it expands the imagination and stimulate the brain. And also, I love to watch how great physicists with complicated minds try to simplify their explaination in order to make the show more interesting and attract people with the average mind so we can follow it. It is also an interesting and free journey to take when its with your mind. More often that not, they will always start their explaination by saying "imagine" or the longer version "imagine if you will". Now this word I will use quite often as like them, I intend to make my explaination simple.

Now lets get back to the title, Logic and Emotions. They are very much connected, however unlike what Miss Mora suggested in her comment and I quote "Our brains and hearts have, well, oddly a mind and emotion of their own.", I disagree. To me they are connected in a separate but much more intricate way. Imagine A family with triplets whom are identical and telekinetically (communicate with each other through the brain) connected all the time, now we name them logic, desire and emotion. All information will flow through downwards within a matter of nano seconds. Logic is like the elder brother who always looks out for everyone and trying to get everyone out of trouble. But like the real world, if the elder brother is not dominant and restrain the 2 brother's (most importantly Desire) then the outcome will mostly be negative. Desire is however, like the middle child that nobody really pays much attention to. However, desire are also very close to emotion. That's is why everytime a desire comes along we always mention it as feel, for example "I feel like drinking a coffee.", when in actually fact its more of a desire than a feeling. And depending on how strong the wisper of desire to emotion is, meaning logic can't stop it from wispering to emotion than you have a very emotional person. Emotion finally is the 3rd and last brother whom everyone always pay attention to and are usually the strongest of the three. That is also why when we are happy we visit emotion first and when we are sad we also visit emotion first. The first question is always how do we feel as oppose to why does things happen.

An example, if someone is emotional, then their desire is usually stronger than their logic and if someone is rarely troubled by their emotion, then their logic is usually stronger than emotion. Basic scenario, let's think about it, someone throws a mud to your face, now its not right, but the logical thing to do if your logic is more dominant than emotion, is to just wash it off and tell them its not right, rectify the problem and on you go. However when emotion is more dominant, Emotion comes into play and depending on how dominant the Emotion is it can be blown out of proportion. Maybe a little or maybe so big that it starts a war. Again as I mention, depending on which is more dominant, that will determine the outcome.

So, as the wisest person I've ever known (my grandfather) use to say to me, think about it PROPERLY. Go ahead, try to draw a diagram of how from the moment an information comes to our brain to the moment an action is taken. Because great minds agree that we tend to understand things more with visual stimulus rather than smell, sound or touch.

Next, well discuss how a note of thought can turn into strong memory.

Matter of Opinion

Before I go on much longer and start talking about other things, I feel the need to clarify a few things so that people do not think of what I posted as a matter of total fact. It is simply a matter of opinion as oppose to fact. An opinion from myself to share with others. Like all humans I am not perfect and therefore will not force my ideas or opinion on to others. If you think that I am right and my point is there then you can use it but if otherwise then it is up to you. Each of us are entitled to our own opinion, so THINK.

In certain things that I talk about and at certain times, I will use an example or a saying or some words taken from somewhere. But that does not mean I people have to agree, follow or take my word 100 percent. I will not preach to you about religion or life or money and etc. Please use your brain to think about it and not emotion to hate or like it just because it comes from me or my blog. You are welcome to voice out your own opinion.

Let's consider this as a forum of discussion where we can discuss things in a civilised manner on any topic what so ever. There is no need to force things on to others as it will only make your opinion seems more wrong than right even if sometimes it is right. Remember when you were small and you got sick and your parents try to force medicine down your throat, eventhough they tell you a hundred times that it is good for you, but because they try to force it, to you its bad.

So, I hope everyone understands what I am trying to achieve with this site. Thanks to everyone who supports me and participate in this blog.

Firsts.....

This is the first blog that I've ever typed. In our life there are a lot of firsts. Logically, we should not pay too much attention to our first, however emotionally certain firsts are significant. The question is why???

Here's a question, is there a different between the first time we fall from our bike and the first time we can remember? In the interest of logic, the first time we can remember is far more important than the first time we fall from our bike, it is much more significant considering that's the first time that our brain practically keep our 'life record'. It shows that we are not brain dead and that we are not empty just like Homer Simpson :). But when emotions come into play, the importance change from the first time we can remember to the first time of falling from a bike. This in my eyes is simply because the first time u can remember, there are no emotions yet. But the first time u ride a bike, your emotion is already developed and u feel the hurt of falling from it and therefore it sticks strongly into your memory.

Just like the first time I'm writing this blog (typing technically). Logically its just a page to share my thoughts and opinion. It has no significant importance as I am only a simple person and my decision and thoughts has no bearing in other people's life except for the ones whom are close to me. However, I cant help but feel that this day is important because I am able to establish this first blog. With a big smile on my face and pride the size of mars I feel like telling the whole world, "hey look at me, I dont really know IT but I have a blog. Hahaha." So, why is some firsts more important than others? And why do the firsts that involve more emotions are usually more important compared to the firsts that has more logic in it? Let's all think about it.
