Emo~~

Emotions. It's really funny how this thing works. Lets what what dictionary.com says...

1. an affective state of consciousness in which joy, sorrow, fear, hate, or the like, is experienced, as distinguished from cognitive and volitional states of consciousness.
2. any of the feelings of joy, sorrow, fear, hate, love, etc.
...

What does it say? Not much. "affective" (cause by or based in emotions), "consciousness" (state of awareness), "feeling" (emotionally influenced)...it seems to assume that one has an inherent understanding of what emotion is, as 2/3 of the words pulled to describe it also bases their explainations on the term "emotion". I think, the same verses I can pull about the heart and its assumed connection with emotions would be the same verses that people dating would keep in mind. Guard your heart; that type of thing.

What about deciding things based on emotional irrationality? Can't seem to find anything on that...
