The more I understand logic and rational thinking, I've started wondering why people consider emotions to be illogical or irrational. I think that deserves address, but I don't have the training in cognitive science to properly guess at the exact nature of emotions, so I can't really seal any argument on the subject.

I just know that, nowadays, I no longer see illogic in emotions, nor do I see irrationality; just misunderstandings and unsuccessful communication. *shrugs* Food for thought.
