The most common way of percieving a situation has been a battle between two different methods in my daily life.
These two methods are:
-Rational or logical
-Emotional
But even if they are two there is still a zone between them Emotional Impulsive — Emotional — Semi-rational/logical — Rational/logical — Emotionless
I believe each one arises depending on the situation. Much like how Australia is a Continent and Greenland is an Island, these perceptions are just words that we invented to convinently describe a greater amount of detail. But just as it is used convinently it can be used incorrectly in certain situations, and are all debatable and can never be constant, because as time moves forward, reality and preception change according to a society VS scientific path.
Regarding Emotional and Emotional Impulsive on my line chart, the situation arises quite frequently depnding on the psychological mood of humans. For example, after a hard days work, a heated argument, or a praise from a close friend/relative, the human mind interprets information at a level, which may be consider less rational. This dream like state, and arise or depletion of bodily hormones and instincts can be seen in survival situations as the most extreme. When societies perceptions have been limited to a small or non-existant group does all rational and logical thinking begin to break down. When this occurs decision are made emotionally, or specifically with less thought, and more impulsive behavior. For example, when one goes shopping with unlimited funds, they tend to think less and buy more according to sudden urges and current desires, which can easily be achieved because of the lack of limits placed upon them. Once limits such as money, social norms or time to think have been applied then a human being takes time to consider and reconsider in a more rational way. This rational way of thought is more prevailant in Western society, when our government provides us with protection from ourselves, but at the same time rewards those who exploit others, until the “Emotional” mentality from a variety of those who oppose a specific situation arise and challenge “Emotionless” behavior. This in terms can be seem during the 20th century with both the Cold War and the battle between Human Socialism and Capitalist Socialism, the latter emerging because of the power and emotional strength of Emotions stirred by the far left” Communistic” emotion driven feelings, which justify rational in a “ends justifies the means” perception. Like a promise of a “Golden Land” both spectrums or the left and right, reward those who indulge themselves in one sided thinking.
The existance of a rise and a fall in the Capitalist world (market) is one example that one can not dwell within one side. Although, nations have been able to mobolize human resources and workforce to achieve a powerful emotional response and unity unseen in such scales before the 20th century proves that this “Golden Land” is possible, but no without a time limit, and not without a rise and a fall. European and Asian nations have mobilized humans in a manor similiar to magic, despite the fact that the occult and superstitious beliefs have fallen to below pre-20th century levels. In an age of science and secularism, the secular-religion, and far right of the spectrum mobilized the emtionless rational/logical human beings to march forward for the search of a true human “Golden Land.” A place where war can’t exist, and freedom is recognizing the cage you live in as not a cage, but protection from your emotions. A world where desire, and emotions can’t haunt your decision and true freedom of though can be emerged, with basic limitations to physical expressions. However, emotion and infringement on the lives and freedoms of others had occured with these events, “colonial sacrafices” to allow oneself and their followers to reach a world of true and possibly blind innocence.
