Our emotions can provide meaningful and crucial feedback on a decision,

while irrelevant emotions produced by an entirely unrelated incident might

lead us astray. The next time you sip a bitter cup of coffee or argue with a
loved one, take a moment to contemplate how your emotional reactions may
persist when you begin a difficult activity or evaluate a hard decision.
Fortunately, we may frequently select when to do each of the several duties
that are assigned to us. This should allow us to assess ideas and suggestions
from others when we think we are most objectively and completely capable of
doing so.
Emotions, together with rational thought, affect how we form moral judgments and decisions. Anxiety,
empathy, and sobriety make us less ready to sacrifice one to rescue many. We are harsher judges and
punishers of moral wrongdoing when we are disgusted or angry.
