Thinking
We tend to believe that we think with our intellect, and that the emotions stand apart, a secondary force, there for the purpose handling a separate life concerned with what we love and hate, not with what calm, logical decisions we will make to order our lives.
The truth, I believe, is that we think more with our emotions than with our intellect, and then bend our intellect to fit our emotions.

ha! Sometimes I’m quick like that.
I think what I’d said was that I’ve never made a decision with my intellect. Always I’ve been led by my emotions. Sometimes it works out ok, too.
Emotions are a big part of making decisions. That would be why it is so hard to predict what someone else will say, emotions are extremely hard to predict in a person until you really know them well and even then it is not easy.
people tend to go by impulse of emotion- not a good thing
I’m at a time in my life where I’m learning to think less with my emotions because my emotions do indeed cloud my mind and I teend to not see things as objectively as I need to at times. However, I agree with mrcolorful our emotions are a big part of descision making. Without them we’d be like those damn annoying creatures called Vulcans on Star Trek, full of logic but with no emotion.

Smashing question, my British friend.
I’m glad to see you rose above the rampant Batman/Robin theories.

That’s interesting Super Hero research. Really. I love that stuff.
In the Superman TV series in the fifties…(did it make it over there?) Metropolis is actually LA.
And in the Batman TV series in the sixties…Gotham City is a very thinly veiled NYC. Mayor Lindsay was Mayor Linseed and New Jersey was New Guernsey. Ha! Insanity.

your correct.
at least when it comes to the thoughts that matter.
You just read ME for filth.
I think more with my emotions, for however intelluctual you are, it is dead without the capacity to feel.
