Why are emotions and impulses so powerful?

Like love at first site, you know its irrational yet it happens anyway. Even after you've been rejected its so hard to accept at first then so depressing when accepted that you cant fall in love again for a long time. Whats the purpose of emotions being more powerfull than logic? I've never know a situation where emotion was more beneficial than reason. I guess this question could fit in the evolution catagory too.

Answer:
That's one of those questions that's best to just accept what is and not spend too much energy trying to figure out why. Try to seek a balance between emotions and logic to arrive at the best conclusion. I always ask myself what a casual outside observer would have to say about a situation that I'm having problems with. That way, you can at least bring in a bit of objectivity and make a better decision.
It's because we're humans. We feel more than logically understand. If we didn't have any emotions, how would we show people what makes us sad, what hurts us, what angers us, what annoys us, or what makes us happy. We'd live in a boring life if all we did was reason with logic. That's what I think.
dang, your pretty deep for a guy...only God can answer your question...try asking him
emotion is the fuel you use to drive you toward your goal

it's not irrational if you know what your goal is

i fall in love with beautiful women when i see them, because my goal is to feel better about myself by having a partner everyone competes for

once i learned this about myself, i took "no" as refusal, not rejection, because apparently, beautiful women have the goal of being a partner with someone with a bit more depth than i am aparently capable of.

i'm gonna keep intervewing babes for the position until i find one whose goal it is to be stalked by a nit-wit like me

by the way.nice reply, red. let me see if i understand YOUR goal. you are going to keep putting men down, and elevate your position by walking up the staircase of their bodies, until you find one who is godlike.
Feelings and emotions are not powerful at all, an invisible power greater than you is the most powerful and will destroy all feelings eventually.
