When Emotions Decide: Why Feelings Sometimes Make Better Choices Than Logic

Today's topic is how we humans sometimes make very good decisions based on emotions and sometimes very bad ones. We experience anger, happiness, confusion, and many other emotions, and we react differently to each one. We've also observed that sometimes we make emotional decisions that turn out very well, and this reinforces the idea that you can sometimes make decisions based on emotions. You don't always need to use your brain. Often, we're told not to make emotional decisions because they're always bad. But I believe that while they can be bad most of the time, sometimes emotional decisions are the best ones.

Emotions are the most natural part of our lives. We are sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes angry. We also experience fear and love. All these emotions arise without any specific reason, and as humans, we experience so much. We value ourselves and our inner values, and we often use these things in decision-making, even though we are taught from childhood that decisions should never be made emotionally. This is largely true, as you've probably seen many times that people have made emotional decisions, and the results have been very bad. However, you should also consider that there are times when an emotional decision seems easier and better. Therefore, completely ignoring emotional decisions can also be wrong, because every decision is ultimately a decision. You just need to understand where that decision is coming from.

Sometimes, we see our true priorities in our emotional decisions. So, for example, let's consider this scenario. Imagine you're in a high-paying job, but you don't feel happy there; you're unhappy. The working culture is terrible. Even though your salary is very good, your mental health suffers, and you experience anxiety. But you can't quit because you're unable to make an emotional decision. Your rational mind tells you that if you quit, your livelihood and your family's financial situation will gradually deteriorate. But your emotional side tells you to leave everything and start something of your own, something where you're your own boss and in control. Does this sound logical? We shouldn't always make emotional decisions because, at the end of the day, if something happens to us, or if we become so burned out and fatigued that our bodies collapse, our brains will stop functioning anyway.

Emotional decisions make us human. If you base everything solely on calculations, processes, and cost lists, your future life will be very bad. As humans, we need to consider emotions in everything. Many people will tell you to think about the future, to think about long-term prospects. But I would say, never think about the future; focus on your present. If you work hard in the present, you can make your future better. Because the future is unpredictable; you can never make it perfect or change it completely. What you can do is make your present the best it can be. You can change a lot in your present because, as many have said, the past is history, the future is a mystery. Focus on your present; your present is everything.

Yes, sometimes emotional decisions turn out to be very wrong. We later regret them and get angry with ourselves for making a decision based on emotions. We think, "I should have thought with my brain. My mind was telling me not to make that decision because it would be wrong." But never regret anything, for any reason, because it was written in your destiny that you would make that decision, and your future would be decided accordingly. So, never ruin your present for the sake of your future. Emotional decisions are good only when you understand your emotions, accept them, and then make a decision, not when you act impulsively in the heat of the moment. That's why many people think emotional decisions are wrong, but it's the way they made the decision that was wrong. Talking to yourself, having a discussion with your inner self—many people make decisions after discussing things with themselves, and that's a very good thing because sometimes, even if you make a decision emotionally, that decision can turn out to be very right.

But this absolutely doesn't mean that we should start making every decision emotionally. Balance is most important; both logic and emotion are very important in their own right. When both work together, the decision is strongest. However, it's true that emotions are not the enemy. They can be our guide, and if we use them correctly, it's true that we shouldn't make emotional decisions sometimes, but rather, we shouldn't make emotional decisions every time. That's also very good. But then, we are human. Our human feelings change. Since feelings change, sometimes feelings tell us that we should make a decision, sometimes an emotional decision. This brings our feelings, values, and desires to the forefront. It makes us feel in our lives why we are surviving. So, our emotions are full of confusion, but we have to make a decision that can make our future life better.
