Yes, a balance between emotions and logic--to me that is the epitome of intelligence, then combined with spiritual intelligence, the pinnacle of intelligence is reached.

Here is a stanza of a poem I wrote:

Emotions evolutionary prize

other animals may indeed have souls

Feelings allow spirits to realize

Goal of elevating on totem poles

Humans to achieve our intended roles

Feelings spiritually guide egos

Persuade others with ethos and pathos

Here’s an oxymoron to consider

EQ incorporates lots of logos

This concludes dizain portion of dinner
