They are some of the most powerful forces in our lives, coming from the inside and going out. However, to live by emotional rules means that emotion is king. The laws of logic do not apply to you when it comes to living your life.
<br><br>
Even if your actions have logic, they must first have EMOTIONAL logic, otherwise you will probably not go ahead with them. You are very in touch with your emotions and feelings and it's important to you that, at the end of the day, you feel good. That's more important to you than some perceived success.

A palace made of core memories, our favorite stories and characters, our deep-seated feelings and the many metaphors, similes and analogies that really speak to us. To live by one's own inner world rules, though, is a rare and often difficult way to live. One, for example, might prefer rules that follow their inner 'goal' or 'life-style' that represents the true them.
<br><br>
People do not understand our inner world, they are blind to it. This causes some people to react negatively to people who have an inner set of rules, calling them 'weirdos' or 'crazy'. But, to put aside those people who have an inner world that is dangerous, most people who live like this just have a set of guidelines inside that complements their 'core' personality. Their behavior and decisions might seem odd to people looking from the outside, but they make perfect sense in the inner world of that person.

READ MOREYou pride yourself on using one of the most ancient and powerful tools in the human purse - logic. This word, for you, is not some dry title for academics, but a core of your being. You try your hardest to cling to a strength of objectivity, to think outside the limits of the emotional, outside the limits of what you WANT to be true, and find the truth itself.
<br><br>
This is much easier said than done. Humans are emotional beings, even more than they are logical, and most of our instincts go in that direction. However, you prefer to live in a world of 'sane' rules, ones that put the common high in its list of priorities, and that does things because they make sense, not because of some whim.

READ MOREAs we grow and learn, we discover that many of the paths have been walked before. If we imagine our life to be a climb up a hill, then one can take the beaten path, shown to deliver results, or they can risk taking unfamiliar paths, which may or may not get them to where they want to go.
<br><br>
By your answers, you live your life by common sense, those rules of behavior and thought that have been instilled in us by our family and friends, as well as our history, our culture and our immediate environment. You have internalized these rules and they serve as your guide in life. In a way, it is using the wisdom of the world as your guide.
