Intellect? Or Emotion?

    When a person is governed more by intellectual decisions than by emotional decisions they weigh the outcomes. The think of all the pros and cons of every decision they have to make and they make the decision based on what has the most pros.This person thinks logically and takes the future into consideration instead of making spontaneous decisions on the spot.
    An emotional person would most likely make decisions spontaneously based on how they felt at that moment in time and not consider the future in their decisions.They tend to be very emotional and develop attachments to people or even their work and because of these attachments they are sensitive to change.This make decision making hard to do, especially if it deals with what they are attached too.
    The positives that come from being governed by intellectual decisions is in the long run their future is most likely going to go how they want it because they considered their future in the decisions they make. The negative consequences of relying on intellect is always making decision with intellect might not make them happy all the time. Therefore overtime they may become sad and not be able to develop attachments to people, depriving them from ever getting married or having a social life.

    Having a companion or love is a major part of survival and the human experience because that is how a person discovers who they are. Without having people together that person is not going to figure out what kind of person they are. They would never know if they were selfish,compassionate,selfless,kind,extroverted, or introverted. All these things would be a question they could never get the answer to, unless they had some sort of social interaction.
    Another major reason is to share all their feelings and accomplishments with. When people do not have someone to talk to they tend to get very depressed because they can not share the feelings they have inside. If they keep everything inside their feelings bottle up and they can not establish credibility for themselves. By sharing accomplishments this is the foundation of conversation and their personality.
    The third reason companionship is an important part of the human experience is because we need to continue the human race. Without a man and a women being in a companionship the human race would extinct. Also, with companionship comes intimacy. Almost every human being craves some sort of intimacy whether it is with family or even their comapanion. Without having this kind of relationship brings on envy and envy can really set a person into depression because they could not experience normal human nature.

No one can be happy without a friend, nor be sure of a friend until he is unhappy.

. Rejection .

    I think I am safe when I say that everyone has been rejected in some kind of way during their lifetime. Whether this was from a job, friends, groups, sports teams, your family etc. and I have never heard from someone that it feels good to be rejected. Well this is.. because it doesn't feel good at all! Wanting to be accepted in society is human nature.There is nothing wrong with wanting to be accepted either, however being accepted does not give the permission to be anyone other than ones self. Many people make that mistake especially teens. Teens are known to give into something called peer pressure. Peer pressure is the iinfluence that comes from members of one's peer group. Peer pressure could lead to so many negative things but also good things as well. It just depends on the scenario.....


   ( **So in high school there are the very well known cliques. There is the popular group that consists of the jocks, cheerleaders, and skaters. Then there are the not so popular cliques like the drama club, the nerds and the academics club.**)
   So if there is a new girl that started going to the school . She most likely is going to get rejected in some of these cliques. With this scenario there are stereotypes that are involved and peer pressure too. Stereo types play a large role in rejection because people separate each other in groups that they say fit them. A stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image of a particular type of person. For some teens this means striving to reach for their expectations they set as a group. This is wear peer pressure gets involved with rejection. If say the new girl does not live up to the stereo type of the cheerleaders she will get rejected from that group.


   This can effect a persons' self esteem greatly in negative ways. The emotional tole someone can go through because of rejection might surprise some people. Rejection can lead to depression, being suicidal or even death. Everyone hears stories about bullying and rejection and how it lead to death for many teens. The power of rejection can make teens feel, alone, betrayed and worthless and stereotypes and peer pressure intensify the chances of these things happening. That's why i believe we should be like Christ and open up our arms for everyone!
