It is no secret to any sensible person that the world runs on just that: sensibility; we live in a world where everything is based on logic and reason. Don’t get me wrong, emotions and feelings do play their part, but compared to the aforementioned it still pales in comparison. The world is not kept together by feelings, and more often than not / generally speaking, your feelings will lead you astray. Just think about it.. when was the last time you were emotional, for example you had anger, frustration, desperation, anxiety and so on flowing through you and the outcome of giving into all of these either figuratively or literally was positive? Exactly, almost never. Now think about all the times you did things based on logic and reason; you actually evaluated and assessed a situation in detail, came up with a backup or a contingency plan of some sort as a worst case scenario cover and then you proceeded with your actions or ventures based on all of this.. what was the outcome? Exactly, favorable. Or at the very least reasonable under conditions and circumstances that you could not do anything about. People make stupid mistakes because they allow themselves to get carried away by emotions, with all the disastrous consequences accompanying such. One can compare emotions and feelings to being drunk, you are mentally compromised which is obviously not good. Being level-headed on the other hand obviously has nothing but positive connotations to it, there is literally and figuratively no situation in which being level-headed can be construed as something bad. Level-headedness, being of a sound mind, rationale, logic, reason… Why do you think that all of these phrases are strictly used in a positive context? Because they embody positivity based on everything that I’ve said. When I need to do something, generally speaking my feelings take a back seat regardless of how intense they are – I focus purely on logic and reason or at the very least combine both, but even then rationale comes first, guiding the latter. I know and I’ve seen people in the world that were not ready to have children as another example, but just because the woman (more often than not) could not agree to a compromise, for example termination of said pregnancy and was insistent on having the child, worse yet – the male under duress agreeing to it, made it so that as a figure of speech a miserable family was born: two parents that were not ready to have a child and then having to put their lives aside for the betterment of said child, with all the negativity that follows (general discontentment / unhappiness etc.). Why? All because of the fact that the decisions they made in regards to procreation were not based on logic or reason.

The message is crystal clear: do things firstly and foremostly by rationale; feelings come in second.
