~ the dictation of feelings ~

How much do we allow our feelings dictate the moves we make in our lives? Are our feelings a lie? I guess I've always done what my heart told me to do, but after careful consideration of the factors that go into our emotions I can not help but to question whether the choices I've made weren't smart ones because emotions can be so volatile. In todays age of technology we interact with other humans far less, have medications that affect your emotional state, and the constant exposure to worldly issues have changed the way we feel things, respond to things, and just plain experience things. I'm starting a new chapter in my life.. And that's going to be an experiment of tuning out the emotional part of my decision making and using pure logic and reasoning to deduce my options. This is completely new ground for me, so saying it's going to be an experience is putting it lightly.. Change of processes.. uggghh
