Our Own Unreasonable Selves

Many believe unreasonable people are difficult to deal with because; they allow their emotions to overcome them. I ardently disagree. I think unreasonable people are difficult to deal with because they are unreasonable. I think the way you feel is more of a method; it’s more a mode of reason rather than the effect itself. Someone calmly not using the cognitive logical faculties within their minds is vaguely different than someone screaming out at you in the same frame of mind. And it seems as though appeasement is the only (if perhaps just abrupt) liberator from such daft social interactions. I would consider myself (in if at least most situations) a relatively reasonable person, especially in my actively and less intimate social experiences, but then I also consider myself more emotional than many others. But I do not serve these emotions, and I think perhaps that is the fundamental difference in how it is I interact versus those who most find insufferably difficult to bear. A person unable to acquire their reasoning to endeavour around the arena of thought and discourse I would rather think as lacking the necessary emotions required to be considered an “overly” sensitive person. But then, perhaps there is a problem in assuming the relevance between someone’s sensitivity and someone’s reason. Are these mutually exclusive? Do my abilities of reason play a separate role than those of emotion?
