Emotions and Instinct....

We follow both and base decisions on them our entire life.

When we find love we follow the emotion.

When we are angry we often lash out and hurt others, unaware of what effect it might have on their life or day.

But, unlike Instinct, our emotions can blind us and bind us.

When we are in love the other can turn our feelings against us, bending us to their will.

When we are implacable on one point of view we are blinded from the truth, even if it is staring us in the face or sitting right next to us.

Instinct: we follow it right? 

But what really is instinct? 

Some believe the heart is, from 'follow your heart'.

But is it possible for our instincts to betray us? 

When we are lost, we 'follow our nose', right? 

But every person's instinct is different, it depends on their life style.

If they live with parents who love them, their instinct would be honesty.

If they have friends, or parents, who are mean, the instinct is protection.

But for emotions, what would you do if they were taken away? 

How would you live? 

How would you act towards others, and how would they act towards you? 

If your instincts betrayed you, where would you go? 

We as humans depend on Emotions and Instinct, but is taken away, do not think of the why or the reason... think of the HOW.
