Emotion or Logic
January 16, 2008

I value my emotions much more than logic. Emotions help us see things that logic would never allow us to. Emotions save lives, produce miracles, and change the world. Logic on the other hand is our way of ignoring problems in our society and in our world. It is a way in which we look at the world: inside a narrow box. Logic eliminates dreams and imagination when emotion nourishes these essentials of life.
Sadly in school we are taught more logic. In school there is no time for emotion or passion. You must be logical in order to “succeed”. This world of logic that we are submerged in is abundant throughout our society.

This journal entry was supposed to answer another question: “What do you value more emotion or logic and which is used more in schools?”

I really liked this journal because I believe so much in the importance of education, but at the same time I am so passionate about tending to the wounds and fixing the abundant problems with the way we teach our children.
