Emotion

I have had a lot of thoughts lately. I scanned through them and picked this one.
Sometimes I feel like my emotions are totally irrational. I put a lot of trust in my ability to think about things pragmatically. In certain areas of my life my emotions disagree with my practical conclusions. In one recent instance of this, my emotion gave way and the strain on my heart was lifted. But interestingly, I noticed that my ideas were just as off center as my emotions were. My thought process had diverged from the center just as much as my emotions had. When I started to be at peace, it was because both my thoughts and my emotions took a turn and harmonized with each other on the issue.
So I used to think of the relationship between my mentality and my feelings was like a kite and the tail of the kite, where my ideas were the tail keeping my emotions in order. But now I see that sometimes they both get out of whack so both of them have to make adjustments in order to harmonize with each other. I can't think of an analogy for that.
