The Balancing Knack.

Never make decisions based on your emotions-when you are emotionally euphoric or emotionally challenged/upset (just the same).

Emotion and reason are not distant cousins-they are not even related.

Anything ruled by emotion has to be backed by logic (or at bare minimum)
rationale-in order for:
-truth to be founded (however relative to the beholder).
or
-anything sound or solid can be formed.

Emotion merely needs a place.

Rationale or logic need a reason.

Such as life: there will be more places to be and more things to do
[and fewer reasons] why or how.
