Do you ever wish you could be like Mr. Spock from Star Trek fame? I have to be honest with you, I am not too familiar with the syfy show, but I do know enough about the characters to know that Spock was a mixture of human and Vulcan. While this did not make him free from emotion, but it sure cut down on about half the anxiety that we have to live with! I am full-blood human and with that comes 100% emotion. Sure, I can throw in some logic every once in a while, but even that is going to have to come through the lens of humanity and heart. Now, while at least a part of the previous paragraph is satire, there are times when I wish I was more logic than emotion – or do I? There are times when I do wish reason would overtake my emotional side, but that is also the side that houses compassion, forgiveness and humanity. If my whole life was guided by reason and logic, I would not be the caring person I hope to be. Yes, I would make fewer mistakes, but I would also take fewer chances.
