Logic please come to my emotional rescue

SpockHow often do your emotions take over and hijack your better judgment? I would say quite often for most people unless you are Spock or a tree.

I have been struggling between allowing logic instead of emotion rule the day in given situations. Many times emotion will come in and take up all the air and space within the room and not give logic any room to operate. Only after some time for reflection can better judgments be made. However, some instances do not allow the luxury of time. For example, when your children are in the midst of staging a coup d’état and you sense the world is spinning out of control. This situation is ripe for emotion running the day and for regret to rear its head after the moment.

Upon reflection the logic of the situation always come clear but emotion with all its tugs and pleas commands attention in the heat of the moment. It is as if it is a small crying child demanding you to focus on it at the expense of clearer heads making the decision.

One good thing is that awareness is the first key to getting beyond this situation. I just need to keep watching more old episodes of Star Trek to keep growing my inner Spock fed and to continue to fine tune it. Not that I want to be devoid of my emotions, rather I do not want them to cloud good judgment.
