Don't skip reading this because it's longer than 2-3 sentences
Since this is the relationship forum, let's think about the two most contradictory "theories" for relationships. Maybe the word "theories" isn't quite... right for describing these two ideas, but just hear me out. In this forum, at least 80% (probably around 95%, but I'll give the benefit of the doubt) will obey the "reason" rule. They will find which solution to their problem is most "reasonable" and follow that choice. In reality, however, reason will be completely forgotten once emotion takes over. You think this is not true? If it's not, why are there so many cases of infidelities in the world right now? Isn't it "reasonable" to stay married to the same person so you do not jeopardize your life, and the lives of others that are involved in this relationship? (ie. kids) But that isn't the way reality works. Emotion takes over and soon you will find yourself waking up in the bed of your lover. That there, is emotion. Is there any reason for you to cheat on your husband/wife BEFORE getting a divorce? No. This also applies to relationships, and seeing how young this forum is... it most probably only applies to relationships and not marriage. Conclusion: Stop giving responses to ideas based on reason, base it on emotion. Disclaimer: I write this message purely for the enlightnment of the members of this forum and no one is forced to read and/or agree to it's concepts. |

What you feel is right for yourself isn't always what's best for you.
Your heart is not always right. People are often attracted to things that are not good for them. Take for example Hot Cheetos. Do you remember when you first tried those? They burned like hell. But you kept eating and eventually your mouth was so numb with pain, it no longer hurt. And even after your mouth was numb, you kept eating. That anology might not apply to everybody, but it illustrates my point. Humans are naturally ruled by their emotions. It can be good or bad. I know my emotions have powers over my logic. |
