tug

Logic and emotion are fighting again. Logic says I don't understand and
Logic does some explaining of why understanding is important while
Emotion's feet tap impatiently. Impatience is also an emotion that
Emotion has. Emotion wants to be trusted. Emotion says I shouldn't have
to explain why I feel this; it should be enough for you that I say I feel it.
Logic doesn't know what to say about that, because Logic feels the ice
cracking all around. Feels it like through vibrations, not with
feelings. Emotion says can you please just please try. Logic says I am
trying and Emotion says not hard enough you're not. Logic talks about
common sense and being sensible and Emotion talks about sensitivity.
Emotion wants to know why Logic's point of view gets to go first all
the time. Logic counts off facts using graphs and figures and fingers.
Emotion starts to cry. Logic says why are you being so emotional. Logic
passes over the tissues and puts out a hand all can't we be friends and Emotion says between sobs never mind, never never mind.

    logic and emotions are different, logic needs a lot of explanation before you understand while emotions needs complete attention before you understand.
