Are you most affected by reason or emotion?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 13, 2007:
Before I can even start to answer this question, then I have to point out that there is a difference between "feelings" and emotions. Feelings are more intuative, and emotions are very much based in the physical. The body is wired for emotion, and emotion is more prone to reacting on a slightly more primative, and reactive level. I have every respect for emotion, but I try to be aware when it is running the show, and I often observe more stable results when it isn't.
So am I affected by reason, I guess I am, I like reason, and the illusion that everything is explainable and therefore predictable. I don't really think that that program should be running the show either (though it often is)
I really try to follow my feelings, and find that life is more flowing and magical in so many subtle and wonderful ways when they are leading the way.

Feelings are subtle,
Quiet and wise.
And gently
Point
The way.
Emotions are obvious,
Strong and intense.
And can get
IN
The way!
