Document Summary
Emotions clearly influence us in powerful psychological ways and to a large extent this influence is, in my opinion, underrepresented in the text and the course. To some extent, emotion is another enemy of rational thought and rational thoughts ability to guide behaviour. What motivates us, also tends to move us emotionally there is some sort of association between the two though again in my opinion the exact nature of that association is not completely understood. One can tell at a good distance, what a person is feeling; we are wearing our emotions. The autonomic system will activate depending on the circumstance and the situation, the fight or flight response taken to a different level. Early warning system (amygdala) (the schizophrenic spider sense) Interesting part remembers the event so that it doesn"t happen again the future (insight) Good and bad (ptsd can be harmful if anything that shows up in the past comes back to the present)
