Can emotions be “intelligent”? What is the difference between 1) strong emotional
participation/complementarity in decision-making and 2) emotional flooding? What value
do emotions provide in leading an ethical life?
Every one of us, as human, we were born with emotions and the abilities to express our
emotions. When we first see the light and being touched by the air outside of our mothers’
protection layer, we cried to express our emotion of fear and surprise. When we grew up and
started going to school, we started quarrels with others to express our anger and grievance. There
are so many living examples of how we express our emotions. Expressing our emotions is a
natural ability, but not every single emotion is appropriate to be exposed due to different factors,
and controlling our emotions become more and more important as we grow up. The level that we
are able to control our emotions determines whether we are emotionally intelligent or not. Thus,
emotions themselves cannot really be “intelligent”, but how we are able to control those
emotions and make sure to only express the “right” emotions and therefore to be able to handle
interpersonal relationships in a good manner can be “intelligent”.
The main difference between strong emotional participation/complementarity in decisionmaking and emotional flooding is how much control we have over our emotional regulation and
how much of those regulated emotions can be effectively put in use in our decision-making
process. The former is a positive trait, appreciating those who can think of the emotions of
themselves and others before making a decision that might hurt their or other parties’ emotions,
whereas the latter one disapproves how people cannot regulate their emotions and release all of
their repressed feelings and fears.
To further illustrate the difference between those two phrases, I will use my personal
stories to showcase the difference in terms of actions, inside feelings, and results. During the past
few weeks, I tried to train myself to be a more “think-before-doing” kind of person because I
realized how much I neglected other people’s feelings before making some harsh decisions. For
instance, sometimes when I got impatient in the low quality and careless of the work that one of
my Vice President in my fraternity has done, I tended to criticize them a lot before even thinking
about why they might have made those errors. Those criticism and impatience are signs that I
could not really regulate my negative emotions and tempers because I focused too much on the
logic behind – people supposed to complete their assigned words on-time and in a high-quality
manner. Thus, when I criticized the person by saying phrases like “this is not on standard if you
compare to last semester’s flyer design”, I made a decision to neglect his feelings and emotions.
As we can predict, what I got back in return was not satisfactory either. I did not make my VP to
become more motivated nor feel apologized, in contrast, I think I have made him a bad day as
well. Now think what if I could have stronger emotional participation in making the critical
decision, what if I was able to try to understand him from an emotional level such as “criticism
might hurt his feelings and discourage him”, he might be much more motivated and less
discouraged.
Although I have not personally experienced emotional flooding under any circumstances,
I have see...
