I Over E

This isn't a grammar lesson - more psychological. The thought is if humans started making more intellectual decisions over emotional decisions wellness and prosperity would be greater. However for most people the simple act of stifling an emotional decision has become problematic. So many things that surround the general public ignite emotions and impulse. Intellectually if more time were spent summing up a decision, would life be enriched? By no means am I suggesting becoming a robot and allowing emotion to takeover. We are an animal that creates tears in our eyes for emotion in itself. The very act of a tear in a human is a phenomenon. Dogs, giraffes, not even tigers cry because their feelings are hurt. Humans do. We allow emotions to control our whims and fancies. So why aren't we actively thinking before emotional decisions. Because an emotional decision is quick and without detail - the repercussion of the decision doesn't enter our mind until the credit receipt is signed, the hand flys across at the face of the one we're angry with, or the bottom of the bottle has nosedived into the highball glass we are drinking from. The very emotion that brought the human being to their demise will be the drowning of them. Intellectually, if said human would allow their brain to think about what is right and allow the consequence of the very action they're considering carry through - maybe severe outcomes, failure, debt, and many other shortcomings would be avoided. Again, humans are not programmable beings and we are all wired differently but if I, the faulted human I am, could allow my intellectualism to punch my emotions in the face - so much of my life would be better. Impulsiveness would be squelched. Debts would be paid. And poor choices would be thought long and hard about for long-term and betterment for my quality of life. I over E, in times of need. Unfortunately, it takes so much time and effort to gain better control of the things belaboring us. And change really is only suited for those that wish to concede it is needed. Intellect over Emotion.

**Gaining my life back even as it is being taken away - I can feel it returning to me. Peace of mind is my piece of personal irony.**
