Walter....your question is still not clear very happy Do you mind explaining what you mean?
Mariner, I'm glad you ask that question. I was sort of picturing myself in it....making a choice of whether to choose my happiness or breaking up another relationship with children involved....I better run fast and take cover
emotions is a state of human mind,it suppress reasoning of the mind,instincts is an inborn drive.
with my question,i want to know which feelings comes as a result of emotion and instinct,would you choose to save between walter or seven years babe,how do emotions and instinct takes effect here?
That's true Walter...while emotions can suppress the mind, it is important to remember that it has it's plays an important role in our wellbeing IF we place it in the right channels.

For example, we can love all types of people but being "in love", we need to give our heart to the right person who is compatible to us, or else the relationship will break down in the future. very happy
so do you choose the heart and for gone the soul,walter and seven months baby are very important,how do you distinguish that with emotions and instincts?
Well....a baby is helpless and unable to care for themselves. So to leave a baby uncared for is not only negligent, but speaks of a capacity to abandon responsibility. An adult can look after themselves but having said that, adults also need love. If it came to a choice between one or the other, then for me, I will choose the child. But if I had a choice to have both...why not have both? very happy
Instinct will cause you to act without thinking of the consequences.
I think what you are saying is that if you had to choose between self-survival or saving the life of a baby then instinct will kick in to the point where one will try your utmost to save the baby(the future).
I normally act first then my emotion kicks in. Instinct before emotion.
you are right.instinct is a way of surviving,emotions tells us about and what we fell while doing so.
