Acting with Logic

Greetings to all my friends. I hope you are enjoying yourself. Not my bit but I’m trying to solve these personal problems. And I try to solve these problems by using my mind rather than emotional reactions like before.

As humans, the most basic feature that distinguishes us from other animals is our ability to make sense of the world and life. After we can make sense of things in life, we set goals for ourselves in life. Of course, on the way to these goals, we encounter countless obstacles and difficulties.

As humans, what we have in common with animals is our feelings and emotions. We live with these feelings and emotions. What separates us from animals at this point is our control mechanism. For example, no matter how much food you give an animal in front of it, it will eat until it cannot eat and harm itself. The animal cannot be aware that this is unhealthy and should not do it. Because it does not have access to the concept called logic.

As humans, we have animalistic and human characteristics. Besides our emotions, we have willpower and reason. When you put a meal in front of a person, if that person can suppress their emotions, they will eat as much as they should. Even though his feelings tell him to eat more, he counters this feeling because he is aware that it is harmful to him.

In today’s modern world, there is human propaganda that is driven by emotions. While acting with their emotions is highly exalted, people acting with logic are presented as if they are cruel. However, logic is the most important feature that makes a person human.

This situation stands out again in business life, family life, friendships and relationships we establish. With the change of society, people act more with their emotions and put their logic in the background. For this reason, we witness job changes, divorces in marriages, and damage to family ties.

How you will feel this morning is not very much in your control. You may have a problem at work, a fight with your girlfriend, or a family problem and you may feel unhappy. However, if this situation affects the decisions you will make, danger bells have started to ring for you.

Women, by nature, are more driven by their emotions. It is quite natural for a woman to react very emotionally in her private life outside of her work life, in the eyes of society. Unfortunately, as men, we are not welcomed by society when we give emotional reactions. No matter how deeply we experience our emotions, we should not project them too much and focus on what we need to do.

I have a lot of family problems right now. I also have a lot of financial problems right now. In my business life, I sometimes experience stressful moments. In my private life, the last 3 months have been very intense and it has overwhelmed me emotionally. But people who know me from the outside do not know that I am experiencing these. Because I act with my logic, not my feelings. (I am sure people who say “Brother, you’re a software guy, your body is getting better every day, you got a wonderful life “would go shocked if they knew how I felt when ı was at my bed every night. )

When I have a breakup, a family problem, etc. I think about what my work life and sports mean to me, and I do the things I need to do, no matter how bad I feel at that moment. Because for 24 years, I acted on my feelings and lived a disgusting, undisciplined life. That’s when I started to discipline myself by using my mind and logic in my life.

Please do not misunderstand what I am saying. You should experience your emotions and not throw them into the background. Of course, we will experience our emotions. I also experience my feelings. But when I’m going through these feelings, when I’m going to decide my life, I listen to my logic.

A person driven by emotions is like a plastic bottle in a stream. It will go wherever the waves take it. Don’t be like that plastic bottle. 99% of the time, those waves will take you far away from your goals. Hope to see you in new articles.
