Emotion is a complex psychological and physiological phenomenon that involves
a range of feelings, often accompanied by physiological changes such as
increased heart rate, sweating, or changes in facial expression. Emotions
can be triggered by internal factors such as thoughts and memories, or
external stimuli such as events or interactions with others. In terms of
human values, emotions play a significant role in several ways. Emotions
can motivate behaviour by influencing our desires, goals, and actions. For
example, the fear of failure can motivate someone to work harder, while the
joy of success can reinforce certain behaviours. And the failure may drive
one towards bad sectors and suicide ends also. So being emotional cannot be
fixed as a good omen only. B G says one who is emotional loses the wisdom
and sink in abyss.
Emotions play a crucial role in forming and maintaining social bonds.
Empathy, love, and compassion are emotions that connect individuals and
facilitate cooperation, altruism, and pro-social behaviour. When delivered
in good stead, mutually with good intentions, that forms a very peaceful
society; or else it makes the emotional people a loser in life and makes
the villains a kind of Hero. Emotions influence decision-making processes
by affecting our perceptions, preferences, and judgments. Emotional
responses can guide us towards certain choices and away from others,
sometimes overriding rational deliberation. Emotions contribute to our
overall subjective well-being by influencing our mood and sense of
satisfaction with life. Positive emotions such as happiness and contentment
are associated with greater well-being, while negative emotions like
sadness and anger can detract from it. Emotions play a role in shaping our
sense of self and identity. They provide important information about our
needs, values, and preferences, helping us understand ourselves and
navigate the world around us. Overall, emotions are integral to human
experience and play a crucial role in shaping our thoughts, behaviours,
relationships, and overall well-being. They contribute to the richness and
complexity of human life and are closely intertwined with our values and
beliefs. However always we see emotional exploitations among the humans
than for the progressive wellbeing.
On the contrary, being pragmatic, though initially, stumbles us of our
fast and speedy progress, the end justify the causes of progress or failure
attributable to our own actions only. In this process, what is the best
course of action, in leading people close to us, are stepped out, along
with us, than, caring for so many, unknown faces, as if wooing politically.
The pros and cons of being pragmatic are:
Pros of Being Pragmatic: Pragmatic individuals tend to make decisions
based on logic, reason, and evidence rather than being swayed by emotions.
This can lead to more sound and well-thought-out choices, especially in
situations that require critical thinking and problem-solving. Pragmatism
often involves focusing on practical solutions to problems rather than
getting caught up in emotional reactions. This can lead to more efficient
problem-solving and the ability to navigate complex situations with clarity
and effectiveness. Pragmatic individuals are often able to stay focused on
their goals and objectives without being derailed by emotional
distractions. This can help them stay on track and persevere through
challenges, leading to greater success in their endeavours. By approaching
situations with a pragmatic mindset, individuals may experience less stress
and anxiety because they are less likely to be overwhelmed by emotional
responses. This can contribute to better mental health and overall
well-being.
Cons of Being Pragmatic: Pragmatic individuals may struggle to connect
with others on an emotional level, which can hinder their ability to build
strong relationships and understand the perspectives of others. This can
lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. In their pursuit of
practical solutions, pragmatic individuals may sometimes come across as
cold or insensitive to the emotions of others. This can lead to
misunderstandings and conflict in interpersonal relationships. Pragmatism
tends to prioritize practicality and efficiency over creativity and
innovation. While pragmatic thinking can be effective in many situations,
it may also stifle out-of-the-box thinking and limit opportunities for
creative solutions. Pragmatic individuals may struggle to cope with
ambiguity and uncertainty, as they prefer clear-cut solutions and concrete
plans. This can be challenging in situations where there are no easy
answers or where outcomes are unpredictable. Being pragmatic can lead to
rational decision-making, effective problem-solving, and reduced stress,
but it may also result in emotional disconnect, insensitivity, limited
creativity, and difficulty dealing with ambiguity. Balancing pragmatism
with emotional awareness and empathy can help individuals make more
well-rounded decisions and navigate complex situations more effectively.
So life of individuals are if processed purely through emotions ir
fully being pragmatic, the success and failures, may be processed only as
seen below:
Success through Emotion: Emotional investment in a goal can fuel passion
and drive, leading to perseverance and determination even in the face of
obstacles. Emotions can inspire creativity and innovation by allowing
individuals to tap into their intuition, imagination, and unique
perspectives. Emotional experiences can spark new ideas and approaches that
lead to breakthroughs and success. Emotional intelligence and empathy can
be critical for building strong interpersonal relationships, which are
often essential for success in both personal and professional endeavours.
Understanding and connecting with others on an emotional level can
facilitate collaboration, teamwork, and support networks. Success that is
achieved with emotional satisfaction often brings a deeper sense of
fulfilment and meaning. Emotional rewards, such as pride, joy, and
fulfilment, can enhance the overall experience of success and contribute to
well-being.
Failure through Emotion: Failure can evoke negative emotions such as
sadness, disappointment, and frustration, which can be difficult to cope
with and may impact mental health and well-being. Emotional distress can
make it challenging to bounce back from failure and may lead to feelings of
hopelessness or self-doubt. Strong emotions can cloud judgment and impair
decision-making, leading to choices that are based on impulse rather than
rationality. This can increase the likelihood of failure by making
individuals more prone to mistakes or poor judgment. Failure can strain
interpersonal relationships, especially if emotions like blame or
resentment come into play. Mismanaged emotions can lead to conflicts with
others, further complicating the process of learning from failure and
moving forward.
Success through Pragmatism: Pragmatic thinking involves strategic planning
and goal-setting, which can increase the likelihood of success by ensuring
that resources are allocated efficiently and efforts are focused on the
most impactful activities. Pragmatic individuals are often adept at
adapting to changing circumstances and making adjustments as needed. This
flexibility can help them navigate challenges and capitalize on
opportunities, increasing their chances of success. Pragmatic
decision-making is grounded in logic and reason, allowing individuals to
evaluate situations objectively and make informed choices based on evidence
rather than emotions.
Failure through Pragmatism: Pragmatic individuals may be overly cautious or
risk-averse, which can limit their willingness to take bold actions or
pursue ambitious goals. This risk aversion may result in missed
opportunities for growth and success. Pragmatism can sometimes stifle
creativity and innovation by favouring practicality and efficiency over
experimentation and exploration. This may lead to stagnation and missed
opportunities for innovation-driven success, being conservatives.
Pragmatic individuals may struggle to connect with the emotional aspects of
success and failure, potentially missing out on the deeper meaning and
fulfilment that can come from emotional investment in goals and
achievements.
Hence asking for emotion or Pragmatism, in defense of saving the
geography, life or progress, cannot be determined, as right or wrong. A
proportion of a mixture is needed; but where to begin and end is a complex
theorem. As an example, when one hears a good music, tears rolled by; one
is emotional; but that cherishes the peace of mind; another, sees an
accident on the road; and he starts taking a video in the cell phone; so,
while the former is a good emotion, the latter is a bad pragmatism. Hence
our Sanatana dharma said, fallow thy consciousness. Mind formulates the
Buddi with available data only; so that, all levels cannot be sought by
everyone on the same date and time, as another achieved. But subjected to
the speed variations, things may not become rough or as bad as one thinks.
In other word, *simplicity *with being *less demanding*, cause the
sufferings less, making one, far away from emotions; and at the same time,
practically, life controls the giving and taking from the society, to each
need, which is tending to appear as communism, but in broader sense
distributions of nature, has its equity, which human mind only compares. A
bin is there to filter the thrash only; where the bin is used as only
throwing away, as all as thrash, out of animosity, bias and what not
head-weight, having pre-assumed the perfections, well, the personality, in
itself IS A BIN. K Rajaram IRS 29524
