Should a person think emotionally or logically while making decisions?

Here are some questions on decision makingYou have just arrived in a small village where you don’t know anyoneYou are absolutely bursting to get to the toiletYou ask the first person you see “Where is the nearest public toilet”They answer“Do you want the quickest route or the most scenic one?What would you answer?You are a lady having a bosom job, but you don’t have much moneyThe surgeon says “For the amount you can pay I can do one perfectly, and do the other when you have more money, or I can do both, but they won’t be as perfect as you want”Which would you take?You are on a yacht miles out at sea. You fall overboard. You had forgotten to put on your life jacketYour shipmate rushes to help, and calls out“which life jacket do you want, the yellow one with the light attached or the blue children’s one which might be a bit small for you, or the cork one which has a broken strap, but is OK if you put your head in the armhole?”Which one would you choose?Quite often we are faced with such decisions where we have to think logically to make the best decision, or think emotionally on impulseYou can reply to the above questions with your answers and see whether other readers agree with your responses

Does logic always win Emotions?

In the immediate situation, it is emotions who make the decisions (even if you think they are logical or rational), but it is with logic and rational thinking you can cultivate and transform the mind so the emotions make a different/better decision in the future.

With logic you can change the emotions, but with emotions you can't change your logic.

So, maybe you can say emotions win in the short run, but logic wins in the long run.

In the end, when you're a mature and wise person, your emotions force you to make rationally and logically sound and coherent decisions, thanks to your rational work with emotions (through logic), but it's still your emotions that make the decisions. However, you rational mind already decided before what kind of decisions the emotions should make! ;)

Do men tend to be more logical and women more emotional?

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.I’ll be speaking on adult males and adult females. Adult males brains are 10% larger on average. But this doesn’t illustrate superiority in any article I’ve read. IQ tests have shown that men and women’s intellect measure up to be about the same.On average, men and women’s brains are quite similar. Men have a larger amygdala, the area associated with emotions. The left hippocampus, responsible for memory formation, is also typically larger.Everything else that I’ve read states that there is no one type of male brain or one type of female brain. However, men and women’s brain’s do differ in circuitry.Men have more connections moving from the front to the back of the brain which provides stronger ability to perceive what’s going on in their environment, and in turn, have a better ability to alter said reality (Hand-eye coordination).Women have more connections moving left to right which provides them with a stronger ability to pull information for drawing conclusions. Women tend to have more grey matter particular to the hippocampus in the brain which is responsible for the formation of memories. This is also the area that is responsible for attention, social cognition, and empathy. Women are able to understand and respond to the emotions of other much more quickly.So…Women perform better at “bigger picture” & situational thinking while men do better on more specific spatial thinkingMen tend to be better at learning and performing a single task, like cycling or navigating, and women are better at juggling different tasks at once.Women are usually more empathic and comprehensive in thinking, while men focus on exact issues and disregard impertinent information. Men have a difficult time understanding emotions not explicitly verbalized but can think more logically, while women have a more wholesome view of thinking & understanding but their emotions can sometimes influence decisions.A brain area called the “Inferior-Parietal Lobule (IPL)” is normally larger in men than women. This area is thought to control mathematical processes, which explains why men typically can perform mathematical tasks better than women.Women generally have better memory than men.Men have shown to have better visual-spatial & geographic memory and thinking.You’re welcome to draw your own conclusions. Neurosciences have truly just begun to study and understand the human brain.

Do you seriously think Logic and Emotions are exactly opposite to each other ?

Edit - When you are talking from brain you are talking logic, When you are talking from heart you are emotional. But when you are talking from your guts - it is something very core, intrinsic to you, which will be combination of both logic and emotions.
