We see emotions over power thought all the time, in muder cases, suicide, assault, and bassically all illogical choices we make. Why are they so powerfull though? I just don't get it, our brain controlls are emotions so why can't it stop them? People do bad things without any thought all the time, just acting on pure hate or jelousy, or some other emotion. When it comes time for me to make decsions, I always try to use reason and take the effects of all my choices into consideration before acting. Sometimes I fail to do this though because my emotions were to powerfull, then I find myself in deep water, and only after can I realize the choice was so stupid and illogical. I think humans give themselves to much credit.
