Logic versus emotions in one mind

lionkingcmslHow is it the human mind can offer two vastly differing points of view, to the point of being mutually exclusive, of the same thing, at the same time.
Now I have a viewpoint of one thing and one side is L, for logical, and E, for emotional.
One part of my brain says, rightly so, that L is correct and E is false. However the other part of my brain strongly insists that E is correct, even though the facts support L. It always seems that the emotional side wins, no matter how much the logical part tries to convince it otherwise.
Am I truly that mad? Am I having a "normal" experience? I, truthfully, don't know, as I am locked in my own mind and cannot tell how others are thinking. And, yes, I hide it well.
