A person who is governed more by intellectual decisions than by emotional decisions

Sometimes in life people have to make hard decisions and they do not know what the right decision is. Some people tend to make the decision by following their heart and some people tend to use their brain. Nobody really knows which is best, it really depends on the situation. When people use their mind to make up decisions it is called  intellectual decisions. When people use their heart to make up decisions it is called emotional decisions. People have to think of the "What is the 'right' thing to do?"


One person that I can think of that has to make intellectual decisions is President Obama. He has to make decisions everyday and I do not think the United States would be the way they are if he chose to make emotional decisions. Obama is probably makes some of the hardest decisions everyday, but he does it because that is his job.


There are positives and negatives to rely more on your intellect than your emotions. A positive is that people making the decisions do not just feel bad for the person so they make the wrong choice. For example, if there is someone who committed murder and there wife or girlfriend is having a baby so you let them our of prison to see their child born and they end up killing someone else, that is on the person that let that criminal outs hands. A negative is that you could possibly make the wrong decision by using your mind because you know what people say "Follow your heart." But, there is no 'right' or 'wrong' to everyone, one person could think they are right and one thinks there wrong. Everyone has a different outlook on things.

Companionship and love

In life everyone needs love or some type of companionship. In the book Frankenstein, the monster gets shown no companionship and realizes he wants someone to love him. The reason everyone needs some type of companionship is because without it a person will be miserable in life. They will feel as if nobody cares about them and then they will not ever feel good about themselves. They will be lonely and depressed all of their life.
The monster in Frankenstein fells this way because everyone thinks he is some kind of animal and horrible person when really he is just like you and me. He was neglected since he was created. He was called ugly, so now all he thinks is “I am a horrible, ugly creature and nobody wants to be around me” because that is all he has been told. He needs love and companionship to show that he is not what everyone thinks he is. If he was just an ugly, carless monster he would not feel hurt and want somebody to love him.
If everyone has someone in their life to show that they are loved they will be much happier. Life would be miserable without that type of friendship, love or company. Everyone needs someone to be there for them through the ups and downs of life. Someone to have fun with, talk to, be themselves around and show how much they care about each other. Love is an amazing feeling and I know if I had nobody for me I would be devastated. Everyone should and deserves to be loved and to have someone care for them.

There are plenty of ways someone can feel like they are being rejected. Any sport someone could feel rejected, like volleyball if someone goes to spike on someone and they block their spike that is another example of rejection using sports. Another way to be rejected is playing basketball. For example, someones going up to shoot the ball & someone blocks their shot, you may feel rejected.

Sports is not the only type of rejection there is. Someone could be rejected by friendship or companionship also. For example, if someone asks a person to hang out and they say no, that is rejection. Or maybe if someone wants to be more than friends & they ask the person if they ever wanted to go out to dinner or a movie with them and the person says no, you would feel rejected.

Everyone reacts different to being rejected so there are many different emotions and responses that someone could have. One, the person could feel angry and want to get revenge on the person that rejected them.. For example, if they have been rejected with sports the person could want to reject them the same way that the person rejected them. If someone is rejected by getting turned down by someone they be unhappy or sad and not want to be around the person anymore. Being rejected is not something that someone wants to happen to them, but it happens to everyone.
