Have we stretched the idea of intelligence too far when we apply it to our emotions??
I think emotions and intelligence act upon each other. Emotional intelligence is important because it helps people relate to others. Some very successful people who know how to read others emotions and who are good at perceiving their own emotions may become even more successful than those who are smarter than them. This is because they may relate better to their co-workers, they might work harder, and they just might have a better personality. Also if people learn to control their emotions they can learn more. In stressful situations they can calm themselves and learn more. Others might not be able to handle that type of stressful situation and they wouldn't be able to learn from it. I believe a few of the world problems could be solved by eq, but it would be a very big stretch to say that it would solve all our problems. When people help others that are emotionally unstable sometimes that person overcomes their problems and contributes to the world. But other times there are people that take advantage of other peoples kindness. I also think it is not intelligence that makes people what to help others. We are born with feeling sympathy and empathy for others that are going through a rough times.
