Cultural Attitudes and Emotions

All of us have emotions, and it is simply inevitable for us as humans to be reasoning out situations without having our emotions influence it. In the text, it gives examples such as Buddhists believe in love in all beings as a basis for a logical critical thinking. Because of this, we need to keep in mind that at times, we need to set our emotions aside to arrive at the best decision we could possibly come up with. Our feelings allow us to get the best of ourselves in some situations. For example, if a son or daughter is upset at their parents for grounding them,  he or she might choose an act of rebellion such as maybe not doing their chore well or sneaking out of the house to get back at his or her parent. Though emotions may be seen as a negative thing, it could be used sometimes to improve our critical thinking. It can be used as a motivation to the best final decision.
