What you state here is often what happens as the first response. For some, it is the first and only response. Others, may not respond with regard to emotion at all (I find the chances of this to be very, very small). However, many may rethink their first reaction of emotional influence and allow their mental/logical processes to determine the truth of the matter.

what makes humans complicated is that humans are supposed to adapt to any situations.he seems multi-tasks like a swiss knife. happiness for me is not the result nor the goal of the human specie. we are relatively wrong-adapted to that, a dog can be much more happy than a man

Logic doesn't seem to bring true happiness but it is what is expected of each of us. Our happiness always lay within the emotions. Therefore, your statement sounds true to me, if we live in search of happiness. There are those who are content with logic because their goals are fixed to that logic, thus they find a sort of happiness within it. Like those who marry for stability or for money or for conformity. The human brain is too complex to fully understand. Thanks for posting something to make us think and wonder.

I think we seek pleasurable sensations (physical or psychic), that is what makes us happy,

so yes, I think we do use emotion as arbiter, to guide us toward happiness, or away from pain. we may hate to admit this (that all actions are selfish in this pleasure-seeking way), which causes us to act harsh at time, denying our intuitions in order to be more "logical," though, in reality, it is simply self-righteousness.

Clear as mud???

Thanks for posting this. Sometimes it's great to find something other than poems on the site.

for some, it's rather the opposite, maybe it is more of a balance sheet
