Balance is a tricky thing.
Balancing between logic and passion is trickier. I've had a lot of trouble with that one. Dispassionate decision is the best kind, in many ways. All variables are taken into account, save the obvious one, namely emotion. Acting out of emotion, what one feels, has many disadvantages. No thought is put into feeling, and consequences are left for another day. But they acknowledge the *human* side of ourselves.
There is no balance between logic and malice.
I didn't think I'd be posting here again. For a long time I simply wanted to delete this blog outright, seeing as how I have little use for it anymore. I don't expect comments, as no one reads this blog anymore (understandably). They'd be nice, but I don't expect them.
The past should not be forgotten, so let my blog remain as some kind of convoluted epitaph. To what, I'm not sure.

I feel like I should say something about this, though I am afraid it will come out all wrong. Oh well, I shall make an attempt nonetheless.
Thomas Jefferson once penned a famous letter where he wrote pages of a sort of battle between his Head and his Heart, with Head taking the logical position and Heart taking the emotional one. In my opinion, the Heart won.
Acting out of emotion, without consulting logic does indeed cause problems. But never forget that emotion (at least in the moment) can be more real than logic. What is more important than what you feel (as long as you have considered the feelings of others)? We tend to think of logic as inflexible, unyielding, austere. But who says that we can not use logic to accommodate passion without defying logic altogether?
I don’t know why it seems as though I’m defending emotion when in everyday life I do so much to shut it out. My world is based on logic, I would be lost without it. Maybe that’s why I recognise that passion is indeed important. After all there is usually a logical reason why we feel that way in the first place.
Good luck on your quest for reconciliation, it is indeed a tricky one.
