Is it worthwhile to replace feelings with reason?

Mind or feelings? This question interests many people in different periods of their life. Perhaps among your friends there are obvious supporters of this or that side. And what does it mean to live by reason or feeling? After all, we all think to some extent and feel and try to somehow "balance" these mystical components of life. And in fact often people have to regret about this or that choice. "I'd better think then and act according to the situation," "I never felt happy in these moments, I can not enjoy life ... I do not feel anything." Each of us grew up in a family where the cult of reason or feelings wins in one way or another. This, of course, leaves a misprint on our further actions. But what is best for our life is up to us. The experience of each of us has already pushed us to a certain decision. Did we make the right choice? What will be better for how we live? How to reconcile the mind and feelings and learn to live?


Feelings

Here is a girl who constantly comes on the same rake, makes the same mistakes, but is content with every happy minute and enjoys life. It seems to you that she seems to be "living and breathing a full breast," rejoices at every beautiful minute and that she is doing everything right, that it is necessary to act. We see her happy with the new one, as she shines from the inside. Romanticism at every step, ecstasy and dreams. But when her heart is broken again, you think: how stupid it looks from the outside. Why does she suffer so much? Why can not take myself in hand, because everyone does so, and it seems, it is not so difficult. Emotions on her face change one after another, she then suffers, then again she takes herself in hand. And when the next chance comes, he takes it by a strong grip.

Have you ever had cases when you acted contrary to others? Did not listen to the parents who constantly persuaded you in a certain point of view, but did you do it in your own way? Or when you went against the authorities, the general rules, even just their requirements and plans? Because they wanted it so? In each of these cases, you certainly acted listening to your feelings. And it is possible, even in half of these cases, they regretted what they had done.

And although the feelings often fail us, we still come back to him again and again, making an impulse, a jerk, throwing plans for our desires. We rush, fall, rise and again live. In this person's nature, feel. And even if you choose to trust only your mind - it will be self-deception, because a person can not live without feelings. How reliable the authorities were, did not paint their plans and thoughts, each of us has weaknesses and "impulses". Everyone needs to make mistakes sometimes, commit insane acts to feel alive.

Feelings can be a choice of both a very weak and a very strong person. When feelings are the choice of a weak person - this is what torments many years. These are weaknesses, attachments that do not allow us to live. This is a wife who can not abandon her husband-alcoholic because of attachment and perplexity. This is a lot of cases when feelings prevent us from making a very important election, they torment us, complicate life. Feelings and emotions should not bring fervent suffering. If we choose feelings and suffer from this choice - then something is wrong.

At the same time, feelings can be a very strong person's choice. Because when we trust our instincts - we trust ourselves. It is the choice of a confident person who lives in harmony with his inner world. Reason is often not our choice, but the choice of the environment, society, the choice that other people have made before us and impose this opinion on us. Razum is often stereotypes that ruin feelings. A person who trusts their emotions does not make mistakes in them. After all, the whole essence of this choice, in order not to regret it and be absolutely sure of the correctness of the offense. Feelings are chosen by individualists and strong personalities, because they know how to manifest themselves and what to tell the world. After all, in the end, it is the feelings of the ietik that make us human beings and fill our lives with meaning.

Mind

A person has his own "sins", mistakes and doubts. Each of us at a certain moment throws a "life-ring", relieves the tragedies, helps to comprehend the situation and even to establish it. There are people who consider the mind the main assistant in all life conflicts. After all, feelings often cloud the decisions, push us to selfishness and peculiar to our naturenootolatki. Feelings are a small selfish child in us, who demands to fulfill his whims. The mind is an adult who from time to time pacifies the child inside. Moreover, planning and informed decisions help us avoid many mistakes.

But if you plan everything in advance, sooner or later you can burn yourself. People who give solutions to reason are more anxious, afraid of doing something wrong, losing, making mistakes. Trusting your "I" often is useful, as well as listening to inner whims. Another approach leads to stress, frustration and conflicts with oneself. When choosing a mind early or late, you realize that some side of sensitivity and emotionality leaves you and you are no longer capable of experiencing and bright emotions. Now in beautiful and pleasant situations, mind and analysis come to the rescue. And now he tells us: "Everything is fine, everything is wonderful. But why do I feel so little? "

Harmony within us

Of course, no one can choose only one method - to live by reason or feeling. We understand that in different situations it is worth listening to each of these parties. And, perhaps, they are not even as militant as we are? When to choose the mind, and when the feelings? In fact, they are not so much hostile. With experience comes the harmony, and with harmony and the right decisions that will help to combine the answers of each of these parties, weigh your gusts and desires, but also analyze the situation and give due consideration to the situation. Intuition will tell us when to which side to listen. And even if we make mistakes, the others will criticize us, the main thing is personal choice. Do not be afraid of new methods and solutions, you need to be confident in your choice, do not conflict with yourself and trust your heart or mind. It is better to learn from your mistakes than to listen to the advice of others.
