i can easily buy new one or completely different pet to replace it
an ego you've been working on forever is not soo easily replaced cuz would have to start over from scratch
Destroy that fucking pet. Look at his face. He gives no fucks.
Agreed.
It's foolish to delete this pet.
1. You assign the symbolism to this object. You, not the pet, are at fault.
2. If someone that you cared for has hurt you, let this pet serve as a reminder of your injury. Forgive them in time but do not forget them. Embrace logic and reason in place of ignorance and petty emotion.
Agreed.

I consider it rather irrational to disregard emotion as petty. There's really nothing else in the world that affects us.
You have to be able to step back and look at the situation from a practical perspective as well though. I have an Owl I had named after my ex-girlfriend, and even now half the time just thinking of her hurts. That said, I'm not going to let her win. I'm not wasting money because she hurt me, and if anything I try to let things like the Owl or the wedding ring be reminders of the good times.
Emotion affects us, but it needn't rule us.
Absolutely.
I consider raw emotion to be petty. I cannot justify feeling upset or angry while not caring to understand why one is upset or angry. Why do some choose to revel in their lack of knowledge; to allow their emotions to inhibit their ability to reason, instead of allowing their reason to enhance their ability to feel?
I presume it to be a lack of empathy, knowing full well that the decision to cherish ignorance and the respective consequences of doing such lie entirely with the individual.
If emotion is truly the only thing that affects us—are we no more than animals who act out of instinct, as if programmed by nature's machinery?
No. We think, therefore we are. Must the relative constraints inherited through our perception of culture obscure the objective states of reality? I think not.
It is said that genius is the rejection of one's thoughts by society. I can't imagine madness as anything but its synonym.
I think reasoning for reasoning's sake is pretty questionable, isn't it just as problematic to be ruled by reason as by emotion? I don't think one has to take priority over the other. In fact I think it's dangerous either way.
I can't make heads or tails of the first paragraph unless you're loosely insinuating that being highly emotional is self centered.
As for the second, not all traits we share with animals are bad. It's not really a matter of debate as to whether other things affect us, if we felt no joy or sadness then we'd really be machines and nothing would move us.
Descartes' cogito makes more sense than this. Please forgive me, but you'll have to word that in a way that other people can understand.
If his name bothers you so much, then are you going to instantly rage at anyone with the same name? It's not that rare to see 2 people with the same name.
