Logical Reasoning and Emotional Support

When making a decision a person can decide two different ways. One way is logical reasoning and the other is emotional support. Making a decision off of emotional support, that means they are solely going off of what they feel. They are not really taking into consideration the consequences, but rather what would make them feel good at the moment. In some cases, this can be good and we should make decisions based off of emotional support, but other times it can be extremely hurtful because we do not look at the consequences. That is where logical reasoning comes into play. Logical reasoning is where you analyze the situation. One example is doing a list of pros and cons. You are analyzing the problem and trying to come up with the best scenario possible. Most people if they are trying to make a big decision will use logical reasoning instead of emotional support because of the importance of the situation.
That is where the hard part is, which method do you use? It is a tough decision and sometimes has to be decided under pressure. I think that teenagers can tend to use emotional support more than logical, but that does not mean all teenagers. When thinking it through, one sees the matter as a whole, rather than in bits and pieces. You lay everything detail out, and then evaluate the issue. I like that about logical reasoning because it makes me feel like I have some handle on the problem, were as emotional is just about how I feel, and that is not seeing the whole picture.
Overall, emotional and logical reasoning are two completely different methods, but both are good and bad in some cases. Emotional support is the matter of the heart and can be what you feel is right, but haven't thought through. It is your instinct and in some cases that is what you should base your decision off of is your gut instinct. Logical reasoning can stray you away from your instinct, which can be bad.
