        But, do feelings and emotions not have a logical and reasonable
basis? Are they not designed to direct us towards goals? Procreation?
Self-preservation? Attainment of wealth? I maintain that emotions ARE
designed logically, just designed generally on an unconscious level hence
we are sometimes unable to see the reasoning behind them.
