Rationality vs Emotion — Making better decisions vs feeling and caring for others

Rationality is using logic to make sense of the world, solve problems, and evaluate beliefs.
Emotion is our response to what we experience within ourselves and around us.

Being rational helps us evaluate the pros and cons and price tag of our choices and decisions.
Being emotional enables empathy, compassion, and genuine care for others.

Not being rational, often leads to impulsive behaviour and poor decisions and unintended consequences.
Not being emotional, may leave others feeling that we are distant, cold and do not care.
