When one is high on emotions, intelligence can go out for a walk. Literally.
Try reasoning with someone who is emotionally high or in an emotionally charged environment. Sometimes what the person is saying does not make sense. Neither to us and I am sure neither to the person when he looks at it later.
But at that time, the reasons are good enough for him to show extreme emotions. He can shout. He can say things which he would normally not say in public. He is respected but can showcase the ugly side of his.
I have been guilty of this charge myself in the past. I have shown my emotions. I have stood for what is right, justified only to find myself regretting later. The showbiz looks good. You get a few nods and you feel you are the boss.
But there is a wrong side to it as well and yet we do not see that when we are high on emotions. You must have seen live examples on TV debates, some viral videos when people act out and regret later. Some apologise whilst some don't.
Intelligent brain just closes down on such instances. Literally. If you try to reason out, you would end up facing a dead wall. So what's best in such situations. Either you walk off, if you are the target or if you have a friend who is blabbering, maybe you could take him oa a side.
Later when his anger has come down, then intelligently argue and put your points and if he still refuses to budge down, remember emotions are still high, so you back off and come to him later.
Just hope, I had friends like this who could put some intelligence in my brains later and I sincerely wish I do not get into emotional brawl in the first place.
