Intellect versus emotions.

       
        Many people govern themselves more on intellect than on emotions, with this there are many negatives such as not being as sympathetic towards others. Emotions are what cause someone to be sympathetic, when one uses more of their intellect instead of emotions they do not think of others first. For example if someone went grocery shopping and saw a homeless person they would pass the homeless person because logically they need grocery more than they want to give them money. This would be the opposite if they governed themselves on emotions instead.
        Another negative is that people make decisions faster without thinking it through. Without emotional decisions they would not think events over because to them their logic makes the most sense which does not need examined. With their logic they always find themselves thinking they are right no matter what. When they find their logic right they make their decisions faster than if they took the time to analyze if it is right for everyone involved. With this important decisions are made without a moderate amount of thought.
        One positive is that people do not let feelings get the best of them. When they make the decision they do not have feelings of guilt getting in the way. For example if someone makes a decision to end a program that helps people, if they do not let feelings interfere they can make the decision faster. Also they can make more rational decisions based on facts than on what they feel for someone.
