When facing a crossroad, using logic, rather than thinking with emotions, is key. True or false?

I would agree with you...


If you want a solution to your crossroads, it is best to think out the problem with logic than to feel it with your emotions...


Emotions get in the way of clear and right thinking...When facing a crossroad, using logic, rather than thinking with emotions, is key. True or false?
Thanks so much for the best answer award...

I am a mathematician, so I say logic.


But even logic is not without fault.


Paradoxes drive me crazy.





Logic is scientific and you can go back and find your mistakes.





Emotions lead to the question...what was I thinking?
When facing a crossroad, it is difficult to using logic, rather than thinking with emotions. It is true in the case of brave persons and saints not for normal persons. So it is true in case of such persons which are very few and fdor normal persons is false. Because we are having lot of things in mind, lot of attachments, lot of formalities and so on.
Attuning to divine Love, one's purer harmony, is key.


Gathering data in this Light is second key.


Developing ideation, concepts, and schema of this data is third.


Applying logic to one's hypotheses is fourth.





';The Path of the Higher Self,'; Mark Prophet.
We are facing crossroads all our lives. We make choices continually.
If you were non human, the premise is acceptable.


What about, using ';some logic'; as you blunder through emotions';? Does that sound more realistic?
USING LOGIC IS FINE, BUT OVERUSING IT IS DANGEROUS.





THROUGH LOGIC, YOU CAN PROVE ANYTHING YOU WANT,





NOT ALL LOGICAL THINGS ARE TRUE, NOT ALL TRUE THINGS ARE LOGICAL





DOES THAT LOOK RELIABLE?
I like the whole mind body and spirit ideal as well but I define them differently





Mind-logic/rationality/stupidity/immat鈥?br>

Body-desire/wants/needs/emotions/feeli鈥?br>

Spirit-idea ideals/ logic and emotion/ happiness/peace/calm/life force





Use all of these, but make sure you know which one is to be of most importance in the current situation:


EXAMPLE: Do I go play basketball and risk being too tired to study? No, use a lil bit of each do not forget to comprimise- play ball for a while-not too long buy a red bull and study until the test starts-





The answers are both true, false, neither, both and none.


If you deny your emotions you may deprive yourself a part of you that you yearn to have- and if you rely to much on emotions you may find yourself in a state of regret- My opinion is make a little recipe conjure up so old skool work ethic and don't be afraid to make mistakes be- exist- you may cry a little get pissed- but all those are just bumps along the road- people aren't given the world they have to find it on their own- which is quite sad i must say ...
False. You must consult all your resources. Mind, Body and spirit. Only then will the proper choice come to you.





mind-logic


body-emotion


spirit-intuition
For me, it would depend on the situation. Example: You really like someone that has substance issues. Logic%26gt; Be his friend, but don't fall in love.
Hi,





I would not draw a line between logical thought and instinct, as I feel that both play a part in our thinking, and work together to form a conclusion at a ';crossroad'; in life





As a bit of a practical example, using crossroads, if I am driving in a strang city, I have looked at the map, but use the position of the sun to point me in roughly the right direction, then I just ';feel'; that perhaps if I turn left here, it takes me to my destination.


All this works, many a time





A combination, then

1) We must be careful in thinking in exclusive-dichotomies such as these.





2) Absolutes may exist, but most the time they are relative to certain parameters as well.





3) So your question depends on the context of the situation and maybe more importantly the timing of which you find yourself within that same context.





4) Let's say there was a death in the family. This would place you at several crossroads.





a) Do you grieve alone or do you grieve with family.


b) Do you go to the funeral; or do you stay where your at.


c) Do you move back home temporarily or indefinitely.


c) Do you start an organizations in your loved one's name and make that your full-time career; or continue in your present one.





5) Sam Keen, author of the men's book, ';Fire in the Belly';; states that when one looks at decisions such as these; one shouldn't necessarily look for the right(Logical-answer), especially if it's the right answer for someone else, but not necessarily you. But that you should look back in the context of your own life, and based on that context; make decisions accordinly.





6) Such a decision, in my mind, takes both logic and emotion in consideration; but doesn't allow one to dominate the other but allows one to inform the other.





7) Example:





a) In the context of the funeral above:





1) Maybe in my past I've always ran home when tragedy strikes; and this is my chance to intervene in my personal-fate take a stand, and remain where I am.





2) Yet I was close to this family member, and the people that knew Him/Her the best, and it would be good to see the community-again in spite of the circumstances; so I meet my fate with the intervention half-way and say; ';I'll take a week or two off work, spend it with immediate-family and/or the appropriate-relatives and resume my career after that time.





3) Logic often gets a bad rap for being cold, calculating, and begging the question; but I would assert that you add reason to your passions not to temper or hinder them, but to keep them accountable to some uncomfortable realities such as funerals.





4) Pascal, once said, ';that the heart has reasons, that reason knows not of';; these heart-reasons, you definitely want to consider when dealing with family.





5) Of course the reverse of the recent-above, example(#1), may be true as well. Maybe you've always sacrificed your family for your career; and fate has provided you an opportunity, such as this funeral to change your ways. After considering the financial, emotional, mental, and physical logic for staying or quitting your job or some compromise therein; you decide to give your under-appreciating boss an ultimatum:





a) I'm going to spend my vacation/grievance time back home with family; and when I return I would like to request at least 2 days off a week and a 5.00/hr raise in my salary. We both know I'm worth it, and being this is a deal-breaker for me, consider myself resigned if these meager-requests can't be fulfilled; for I'm going to pursue my childhood-dream, of owning my own ice-cream parlor shop and serve the kid's in my community back-home. Something I missed growing up in our poor neighborhood %26amp; mentor youth in the process.





6) Both these approaches could be logical for any two-people on the planet, yet they both consider emotional-logic(Pascal), and rational-logic(bill's/finances/income/re鈥?etc.), to make the decision with. And there is varying degrees of even these two situations.





7) So you see when it comes to important life-decisions like attending a funeral or spending much-needed time with or away from family don't trap yourself between choosing logic over emotion or vice-versa, but let emotion inform your logic %26amp; vice-versa. A subtle but huge-difference. Agreed?
Definitely false. Sometimes intuition is much more accurate than logic.
for obvious reason is true ,because normally emotions are the one lead us into so many trouble, if it happen someone say false is still right but depend on the state of intellectual mind set,from my point of view logic is only one word that define our level of thinking capability, how good and bad we can think.
40 yrs of enternship 0 yrs of wisdom /fffffffffor a person that will pay $$$$$$$$$$$$ for wisdom I Have a masters of nothing . If that is your goal? tell daddy he's just to poor because his baby is just a ho,ya ya ya just a poor rich ho with only daddys money to blow oh oh oh you poor rich little ho. but never worry for as you know old van dick will show your to huge hegfner takeing at 18 and over but hes a pro were just commen foo
The emotions are central to being human, and must be listened to and their message evaluated when possible, and logic usually can confirm if the fears, attractions, desires and hungers that move us to act, in a given instance represent a real need to act.





We all know that there are people, things, and situations in which you NEED to follow your instinct, for the instincts see the obvious much more clearly than the logical mind does. Any person, crreature, or situation we meet at the crossroads that appears dangeous usually is, and fight or flight is the old standby for dealing with such things.





Logic, of course, can intervene to our benefit in some such cases.
True. The logical way to go is better than the emotional way. Emotions can trick you depending on the situation.
true enough !
hmmm , good questioned for to ponders with , hmmm , i do thinks your truly-wright.
