That makes me think that emotions and logic, like science and spirituality, can be an amazing force for good and happiness when they work together rather than being at each other's throats. I've felt too much as of late that people who spend the vast majority of their existance at the logic/science end of things can't respect the emotional/spiritual end (with the_xtina as a notable exception) and have reacted by getting massively defensive about the value of emotions and spirituality. But it should be a cooperative dynamic balance rather than a battle between the two. Hmm, I'll have to ponder this further.

Not to sound all woo woo, but the more I live and breathe the more I see how most, if not all things have a balancing point. Kind of like a knife blade when it's tempered, forged, and honed just so.
I like the phrase 'cooperative dynamic balance'. :)
I more then concur with the analogy you've made between emotions vs logic & science vs spirituality!
Darkness and light are just two little points, when there is an infinity of shades of grey in the spaces in between.
