Emotion Before Thought

I'm sure this will be an evolving post as its quarter after 1 and I'm a little drunk and I need.....no wait, its quarter after 1 and I'm about to PTFO.  Anyway, I was in a leadership workshop not too long ago and the topic was "emotion before thought."  And it stated basically just that, as humans we tend to react before thinking.  Boy, were they ever right.  Especially in this day and age with the accessibility of the internet, everyone is quick to react.  I can't tell you how many times I've given someone MY OPINION and they jump down my throat and try to tell me I'm wrong.  Uhh news flash: its my opinion, by very definition, I can't be wrong.  Its even worse when you're trying to help someone out but they drank the Kool-Aid and they just can't take the time to think that "hey, his view may be valid and just might help me out here." Nope, but before they can think about what you're saying, they're already calling you names and set to prove you wrong.

Well, that's it for tonight.  I'm sure I'll add more to this in the morning.  Lates
