Due to some extreme situations when I was a kid I decided that emotions could only cause pain and worked for several years to "ban" emotions from my life. It seemed to work well for me, except I couldn't relate to anyone else, so it caused some difficulty in relationships with family and my wife. (FYI, telling your wife that you married not for love but because the of a "pros and cons" list doesn't make for a romantic evening)So for the last five or six years I've been trying to re-introduce emotions into my life. It's tough, I still have a hard time respecting something as arbitary as emotions. Still if I had to choose just one, I'd choose my head over heart.....in a heart beat.
