Emotional Vs. Logical

Emotional:A person who determine or actuate by emotion rather than reason.
Logical:A person capable of or reflecting the capability for correct and valid reasoning

When I was younger, when I would get angery. I would get very very upset, which ended up in me crying by myself. Later I discovered writing my emotions and why I am upset and angry will reduce my level of anger and makes me calm down. It has been a few years and now that I look back I feel I have gone a long way from a small girl who could not control her emotion to a young woman who is still striving to learn ways of keeping it calm. It is always easier when you are not face to face, to write a note and also defend yourself. But I still lack the courage to be face to face with a conflict. I find writing as soon as I am angry, then looking back at the note a few hours later, I can prove my points logically rather than emotionally. I can still be logicall to myself when I am upset but to myself, because I don't communicate efficiently while I am upset with others so it will end up to be an emotional statement, which as you see in the dictionary definition, not considered to be within reason. But I always wonder, would being logical all the time make a robot out of you?isn't being emotional part of being a human?
