I have always wondered whether or not it is possible for people in love to think critically and analyze and make decisions according to that thinking. They say love is an extremely powerful feeling, one that influences our hearts as well as minds. Through out time and still today people make rash, immature and irrational decisions and to defend and justify their actions they say 'love' made them do it. And they naturally become bias towards the one the love.
Can there be a person who loves someone but is also logical and rational? Can he/she make decisions and judgements without be slightly biased?
I really don’t think that’s possible, once you’re love stuck, BAMM! Right then your biases start, you tend to completely ignore the rational side of you and get your self drowning in BIG black hole where when you’re deep inside you cant see your own self, you don’t know who you are. I wouldn’t say this can be the case for all but for the few I know experienced it. Love can either bring out the best in you, or destroy you completely. But I’ve always had a question and that is what EXACTLY rational thinking is? Is it using your mind as well as your heart or that one feeling that just hits you with realization? Nope, never figured it.
