forsyth"Emotions are not opposed to reason: they fuel it. Why would we bother thinking about things without wonder and love, or anger and outrage? And why, if we didn't care, would we bother trying to get things right? Nor is reason opposed to the emotions: my emotions, at least, get downright testy when I decide to let them do whatever they want to, without bothering about what that might be.
...
Reason and emotions, to me, are like the two parts of a pair of scissors: they have to work together to work at all, and there is no opposition between the two. And it is only when they are intertwined with reflection, I think, that they are the full-bodied emotions they are capable of being." - hilzoy, via Obsidian Wings
