Emotions are not logical things.



Very deep; Mr Spock said that years ago on the original series...'quotes' from Vulcan Zen concepts or something...:wink:

Would you agree ? Thoughts ?


Emotions are not voluntary. They are felt regardless to if you are male or female. How you deal with them is the only control you have.

Women do not seek them out like an addict. They feel them.

Do hormonal surges that women experience cause them to be more emotional than most men? Yes.

Irrationality runs through both genders pretty equally. Shows itself in different ways though usually.

From the American movie "As Good As It Gets":

Receptionist: How do you write women so well?
Melvin Udall: I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.


Who needs reason when you have emotions caused by hormonal surges?

Hi all! I'm brand new to this forum, and just came across this thread. I tried to walk away, but I can't! I must add my emotion filled, two cents, which, by the way, were not induced by chemicals or endorphins. They were brought on by a man who calls himself, Prints, I believe.

I will just call him...JACKASS! rofl

Thank you and good night!

Well, you just failed the Vulcan Psych Test that dictates one must 'keep it all together and inside by learning to suppress those emotions as you don't want to be labeled a social deviant as they have no 'criminal Vulcans'laugh
Time to put on the tin-foil hat with antenna and tune in to the Vulcan Zen Hour, (brought to you by Romulan Ale! The drink for uncivilized deviants!)

It's not logical to assume that emotions are crack cocaine for women and nothing for me.

I would never go so far as to believe what the OP is implying. However, women can be manipulated by their emotions just like men are manipulated by our hormones.

Jerks and bad boys seem to be experts as to how to pull off this type of manipulation. Women complain of it constantly.

"Emotional" can be measured in different ways, too. I find it odd that women are referred to as being the emotional ones (generalization), which is seen by some as unacceptable, when there are men who have fist fights to work out their - dare I say it - emotions. I may cry and I may rant, but I will never beat the crap out of someone!

I would have never guessed that so many have indulged to understand what the OP meant.
Ol' Prints may not have contrary in his life at the moment and as run away train. ~assuming tis man posting.

PC have you ever really watched what goes on, all entailed, to get off a large gathering as a "hit" with all? A ta Z with grace they do.

Join I say, and if too many moons has passed.. wear a silly hat by all means to cover any embedded awkward of day 1.
Smiles you will receive and a quick thank you with eyes. ~ifn what I suggest is a bit much like say a wood duck jumping from first home, try donating a Saturday of your time at a local soup kitchen but wear a shirt with collar. ~caring works that way ya know..well, ifn yer hurtin'. tips me hat~

Emotions



Just as the pleasure-pain mechanism of man’s body is an automatic indicator of his body’s welfare or injury, a barometer of its basic alternative, life or death—so the emotional mechanism of man’s consciousness is geared to perform the same function, as a barometer that registers the same alternative by means of two basic emotions: joy or suffering. Emotions are the automatic results of man’s value judgments integrated by his subconscious; emotions are estimates of that which furthers man’s values or threatens them, that which is for him or against him—lightning calculators giving him the sum of his profit or loss.

But while the standard of value operating the physical pleasure-pain mechanism of man’s body is automatic and innate, determined by the nature of his body—the standard of value operating his emotional mechanism, is not. Since man has no automatic knowledge, he can have no automatic values; since he has no innate ideas, he can have no innate value judgments.

Man is born with an emotional mechanism, just as he is born with a cognitive mechanism; but, at birth, both are “tabula rasa.” It is man’s cognitive faculty, his mind, that determines the content of both. Man’s emotional mechanism is like an electronic computer, which his mind has to program—and the programming consists of the values his mind chooses.

But since the work of man’s mind is not automatic, his values, like all his premises, are the product either of his thinking or of his evasions: man chooses his values by a conscious process of thought—or accepts them by default, by subconscious associations, on faith, on someone’s authority, by some form of social osmosis or blind imitation. Emotions are produced by man’s premises, held consciously or subconsciously, explicitly or implicitly.

Man has no choice about his capacity to feel that something is good for him or evil, but what he will consider good or evil, what will give him joy or pain, what he will love or hate, desire or fear, depends on his standard of value. If he chooses irrational values, he switches his emotional mechanism from the role of his guardian to the role of his destroyer. The irrational is the impossible; it is that which contradicts the facts of reality; facts cannot be altered by a wish, but they can destroy the wisher. If a man desires and pursues contradictions—if he wants to have his cake and eat it, too—he disintegrates his consciousness; he turns his inner life into a civil war of blind forces engaged in dark, incoherent, pointless, meaningless conflicts (which, incidentally, is the inner state of most people today).

Emotions are not tools of cognition . . . one must differentiate between one’s thoughts and one’s emotions with full clarity and precision. One does not have to be omniscient in order to possess knowledge; one merely has to know that which one does know, and distinguish it from that which one feels. Nor does one need a full system of philosophical epistemology in order to distinguish one’s own considered judgment from one’s feelings, wishes, hopes or fears.
