Which to you is more important: feelings or logic?

Question

and yes, my next question WILL be based on your answers, so please answer truthfully

Answer 1

It depends: am I looking for a sexual partner, or a Universal truth?

Answer 2

The two are inseparable. You can't apply logic without first having a feeling about a given issue. Even the scientific method is based on hypotheses, which are largely built on emotion.

Additionally, logic doesn't answer every question in life. Without ALL the evidence on a given subject, we must rely, to some degree, on our feelings.

Answer 3

I think I know where you're going with this, but I'll answer anyways. However, your question is incomplete. Do you mean 'when making a decision', or for life in general?

In either case, I would say that logic is more important, but needs to be balanced. Love, justice and wisdom must be in harmony to make any decision properly.

Answer 4

That is the mistake that people always make. Which is more important to a coin, head or tails. When you look at heads, you do not see the tails, vice versa.

A coin is both heads and tails. A person must use logic and must use feelings, at the right time. They are equal and different.

Answer 5

The Bible says: love God w/ all your heart ( feelings), w/ all your mind (logic). So, as far as religion is concerned, I can not separate the 2. But, for other secular matters I usually use logic. Emotion is a poor gauge of judging things.

Answer 6

It depends on what issue I'm addressing. Politics, science, philosophy? Logic, all the way. Personal relationship, my art? Feelings, although there's always a place for logic and rational thought.

Answer 7

In day to day interactions feelings, and understanding them, are what drives life... every thing from "first impressions" to "I hate spam" it's all feelings.... buying a house or car or finding a mate... while there would seem to be a call for logic in these,,, feelings always rule... logic is a distant second in life.

Answer 8

Logic. Feelings are partly based on preconceived ideas. I always try to decide what is best though logic.

Answer 9

A synthesis of the two but I tend to slightly favour logic over sentiment.

Answer 10

Logic. All emotional responses make perfectly logical sense once you figure out the axioms they are operating on.

Answer 11

In connecting with my inner truth, I follow my heart and gut. Logic is of the mind and mind contains the ego. To me, ego breeds fear. But the center of the heart and gut are were spirit leads me.
