Are "logical" and "rational" objective classifications of a person's actions?

RE: Are "logical" and "rational" objective classifications of a person's actions?
Enlighten me, you forgot to give your definition of "objective", what the hell are objective measurements of a person's actions?

When I had psychology classes back in highschool I learned that the brain makes decisions based on two variables - Emotions and rationality. Some decisions are largely influenced by emotions, others by rationality and some are in between. The fact a decision is based on rationality or emotions is not a guarantee that it's right or a better call.

If I decide to quit my million dollar dream job to live with my girlfriend it's an emotional decision but if I'm happy it's a good decision as well... This becomes a bit subjective, when I studied economics two years ago I learned that every decision is rational (cost/benefit) or irrational. I'm confused
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
