So, not all emotions are irrational therefore saying that emotion and rationality are opposites does not square up with reality. For example, if someone socked me in the jaw, it would be irrational to smile and thank the person, while an angry response would be rational.
*holding ideas with neutral hands and connects them with logic*
That is what I meant and that is not emotion. That is the brain doing its job before it applies emotions to the result, hence angry response. The brain does this process very fast.
faster than *snaps fingers*.
