It is very true that emotions are not facts, but yet many of us are driven to make decisions based on our emotions. Pretty big ones, too. And while some of those decisions, like marriage or whether to start a family, or even to take a job or to move probably should involve some feelings, there should be reasons beyond the emotions for them. Reasons that make sense.
I wish you luck with conquering your fear and loathing, whatever they may be.
Thanks! Yes, emotions can also tell us something important. As you said, big decisions should include insight into the emotions involved.
Yet we often take actions (or inaction) based on emotion, without even realizing it or recognizing how those emotions could change. Little, daily decisions that add up to big ones, over time.
I appreciate you stopping by to add your thoughts.
