It is interesting to observe how emotions greatly effect the choices that people make. Of course Sartre stated that emotions are ultimately our choice, as in it is our decision to be sad or happy, so they are also our responsibility. Despite their source, there is no doubt that emotions can play a very strong role in our decisions and choices. For instance, as Avery describes, a daughter choosing to follow a religion out of fear of being condemned may forever regret her decision. Another example is a man choosing to hurt another being in a fit of rage and then having to live with any punishments that come as a result, as well as any guilt. In any situation emotions, humanity's great gift, such as rage, fear,sadness or even bliss can cloud our judgments. They can pull us away from reason and make our choices irrational.
