Emotions definitely *do* have logic to them.
I'd say that emotions are a set of logical heuristics. And, usually,
they work quite well. But like all heuristics, sometimes they're wrong...

I didn't mean to imply they didn't. I was merely speaking about the results,
not the mechanism. I was trying to express that reason and emotions work
together, not contradictory to each other. It's the emotions that are
contradictory to each other.

I don't know about "logical heuristics". Certainly "heuristics" tuned by
evolution.

Feelings yes help you but I think only when they are properly railed as
in the examples you posted, I was writing about feelings per se, they
look only to satisfy needs those needs are 100% selfish and can go
against other feelings; that is why I wrote in nature, meaning by
themselves.
Example to clear my point: a wife and a husband are in the sea after
boat sinking, and a helicopter sends a line, the husband freaks (panics)
out and try to reach it stepping on her wife, this is pure feeling,
triggered by the self-preservation instinct, 0% reasoning, it goes
against love and guilt feelings and the reasoning/logic of the
consequences or the responsibilities as a
husband(protector/provider)/father.
A Feeling can be concurrent, deviating, contradictory, senseless,
unpredictable, caprice, overwhelming, etc., and in all this states it
follow the logic of satisfying itself, hence the need of guided logic to
do the best for the person and as an ultimate good the ironic
destruction of it for the wellbeing of another. This is when logic and
all feelings collapse but 1, love(as 100% non-selfish), as I have
accidentally proved is always the best logic of all at least the reason
of all true good; unfortunately love only works for all when all follow
its logic. Of course this is only my opinion.
Cheers.

I think we're in vigorous agreement. Nothing I think you said contradicts
anything I had intended to express. :-)
