Should one lead life and make major decisions completely based upon cold-logic, reason, careful rational thought, judgment and analysis? Or should one lead a life always using emotions, feelings, impulses and instincts?
Which do you think is beneficial for the self and the society in the long run?
(Star Trek example - Spock/Data vs. Kirk/McCoy?)
(My personal take - I tend to veer towards logic. From my own life experiences and what I have seen, a life based upon emotions and impulses leads to short term pleasure but long term unhappiness and indiscipline. It is the cause of violence, chaos and discontent in society.
On the other hand, the path of logic and reason is tough and needs discipline, but causes long term benefit. It leads to order and peace in life and society. I hope as humans evolve, they move towards logical perfection, and live for the common good for the Earth and society, instead of leading petty, emotional selfish lives.)
