Emotional thinking and Practical thinking

There is a certain discipline everything in the universe follows. Everything is so practical in this world. The world is like a domino effect, every action has a certain consequence.

The trait that differentiates us humans from other animals of this planet is our supreme intelligence. This intelligence is god-gifted. This intelligence has allowed us to create so many things that our counterparts, other animals haven’t been able to. Sure they have a lot of stamina and physical strength, but they don’t have enough intelligence. It is because of this intelligence that we are able to control those animals with our wish, like elephants and horses. Elephants and horses go where we ask them to go. We just ride and control them. We are not as big and strong as them, nature hasn’t made us that way, but we are intelligent enough to control someone stronger than us.

This intelligence has many characteristics. One of them is creativity. Creativity helps us to be innovative and create something new and never seen before. Our creativity amazes others around us. Our emotions are also one of those characteristics.

When one is young and small, his mental self isn’t matured enough to open up all the characteristics of the human brain. Sure one person doesn’t have all of them, someone has great creativity, someone has great practicality, someone has great calculative abilities etc. Anyways, so as I stated earlier, our younger self isn’t matured enough to think practically as we can do when we are older. So, the younger the person is, the more and more emotional he is. This is the reason why kids of very young ages start crying very easily, when compared to someone slightly older than them. This is because their emotional self has more control on them than their practical self does.

Being emotional and practical are sometimes simple, but sometimes we have to choose either to be emotional or be practical. Sometimes when people are being their emotional self, they forget about their practical self, and sometimes when people are being their practical self, they forget about being their emotional self. Like I said before in one of my articles, having a balanced approach is very important. Here too, being balanced in being practical and emotional is very important, especially while making decisions.

Parents, especially our fathers, acquire this skill of balancing their practical and emotional selves. They have to learn this because they don’t want their children to feel that their parents are rude and don’t like them, but also they don’t want their children to get into a false belief that even if they did the wrong thing, their parents wouldn’t say anything to them and support them. That is why even when our parents are angry and furious towards us, they cool their mood down after some time and again be calm and tentative towards us. They have this balanced approach towards us in their lives. Although some parents, however hard they try, are not able to do this exactly 50-50, that is, they have a little-bit of anger even in their calmness and some others have a little bit of calmness in their anger, but they try their best to do whatever they can to discipline us and be balanced towards us. That is what we must appreciate.

This is one of the values that we must learn from our parents. Being balanced in thinking of our emotional and practical self. You will find that when you be balanced in this manner, you will not try to prejudge someone beforehand by looking at them or by just having one or two conversations with them. To actually judge someone you will wait and carefully observe them if you have this attitude, and be nice to the nice and be bad to the bad. This is how you must think.
