Intellectual Decisions

My teacher (I must give him a fake name to keep him annonymous), Mr. Juarves, is always telling the class many wild stories that happen at his home. One time he decided to take a puppy home and keep him. His wife, being a person more governed by intellectual decisions, told him that they could not keep the puppy because they already had a baby, three cats, and a bearded dragon. Mr. Juarves exclaimed, "But look how cute he is! Please, please can we keep him?!" Mrs. Juarves said no of course and went into a story about one time when Mr. Juarves' pinky was bitten off by a dog. The pinky was sewn back on but it was crooked from that day on. During the time that this discussion took place, Mrs. Juarves was making very logical, intellectual decisions, while Mr. Juarves was making emotionally based decisions.

The positive side of making intellectual decisions is having everything thought out. The intellectual decision is most likely going to be the smart decision. If Mrs. Juarves would have allowed Mr. Juarves to keep the dog, they could have unsuffiecient money to support he family or maybe even another hurt pinky! There are bad aspects to making intellectual decisions, too. What if they were not able to afford the dog and the dog ended up on the streets or in the hands of a bad owner. This is a very interesting topic and i believe the debate could go either way.

Personal Preference

Some believe that companionship and love are things that are needed in life for survival. This is not necessarily true, it all depends on presonal preference. There are people who live their lives alone by choice for whatever reason. This decision is neither wrong nor unrealistic. This is simply a choice.

Maybe some people like to be alone because they love themselves so much that they do not want to waste love on someone else. Instead, they would rather spend all their time with the person that they love.

Personally, I choose to live my life surrounded by companionship and love. I do not do this because it is necessary for survival, but I do this because it makes me happy.

Love can make a person feel complete and accepted. It makes one feel as if they are important and have a reason to be on Earth. Love gives a person the strength he/she needs to make it through difficult times and still be happy. Love is when you can completely be yourself around someone (such as family. im not being sappy) and not worry about them thinking bad things about you or leaving you.
