Decision making is a very crucial aspect of human development. The path that one lives is sculpted by their decisions and consequences. In the following paragraphs I will discuss the addressed topic with my point of view, justifications and examples.
First of all, I want to make clear that emotion and logic are in two separated areas and differ in nature. Logic is purely reasonable and scientific and emotion as much to do with sentiments and feelings that sometimes are not logic.
Making important decisions only based on emotion can be very dangerous since it lacks logic and data to back it up. For example, investing in something or someone only based on the first impressions, style or the feelings that you have for that particular person.
On the contrary, since we are all human beings and not robots, we are guided not only by logic but also by emotions. Like when we chose our partner, the altruism given to our loved ones and charity acts. All these examples contain important decisions that are driven by emotion and sometimes represent a paradigm in which people debate. Nevertheless, emotion can sometimes be used to decide when logic is lacking. Many times people say that they have a gut feeling that something is not going to work fine and most of the times they are right. The human brain is designed to use the conscious and subconscious mind and therefore only focusing in the logic part may be wrong and very limited.
In summary, people who make decisions based on emotion and justify those decisions with logic afterwards can be poor decision makers since they haven´t gotten data or quantifiable information to back it up but since we are only humans and design to have a subconscious brain they may be not so poor decision makers afterall.

that
emotion

Logic
is
purely
reasonable and scientific and
emotion
as much to do with sentiments and feelings that
sometimes
are not logic.
Making
important
decisions
only
based on
emotion
can be
very
dangerous
since it lacks
logic
and data to back it up.
For example
, investing in something or someone
only
based on the
first

On the contrary
, since we are all
human

are guided
not
only
by
logic
but
also
by
emotions
. Like when we chose our partner, the altruism

important
