Functional definitions:
need, (things making sense) safety, survival (the need to know what to expect) focus, selfishness, facts (the what is-right here-right now) memory, reality, numbers, truth, law
Emotional definitions:
Want (things feeling good) freedom (the what if) imagination
(the what is-right here-right now) memory (the roll with it) nonsense, selflessness
The strength and weakness of the two sides is determined by the nature of an individual. I believe, the average is between 40% and 60%. Meaning; if you are 45% functional and, 55% emotional then, your brain uses the emotional side/its definitions, more, than its functional side. Now as you can see, those numbers are fairly close to the 50/50 so, almost half and half. This means; that person uses both sides of their brain, almost equally but, just slightly more on one side.
There are people whom are; percentage wise; above average. The percentage is around 70%. I do not believe that it goes much higher than that because, we need adequate amounts from both sides of our brain, in order to live.
The information above is based on a balanced brain. Yes this includes, average percentages, as well as, above average percentages.
An imbalance; especially a stuck imbalance; can cause an average person to, become above average. Unfortunately, this is not natural and so, it works against them.
For example; most average people are law abiding. Someone whom is above average, might also be law abiding but; because of that extra percentage; they might also be a bit of a stickler for the law; including, being a little pushy about it, on other people. Both these examples are normal.
Now, someone whom is naturally an average but, due to an imbalance, could now using their definitions too much or, backwards. For example, using the afore mentioned example; the imbalanced person is now extremely pushy about the law or; they are (emotionally) creating their own laws and facts, as well as, they are now (functionally) applying these ‘nonsense’ laws on, themselves, as well as, others; as if, they are true existent laws.
Before I go further, let me include this.
The brain being balanced is important.
The brain being imbalanced is just as important.
The two sides working continuously and constantly, back and forth, is balanced.
The two sides working balanced but, with hiccups/disruptions, is imbalanced.
The hiccups/disruptions, enable our brain to, temporarily, work differently. It enables us to make different decisions than, what we would normally make. The imbalance enables us to; step out of our comfort zones to, see what life is like on the other side or to, see life through someone else’s eyes. The imbalance is random. It happens anytime there is a disruption to our thinking. Although the imbalance itself is neither positive or negative, it can have positive and/or, negative affects.
The imbalance can also be very helpful, as long as it resets and, the brain balances again.
(example of events that could imbalance a person: road rage, someone saying hello to you)
Think of life as being like a line and, every time you deviate from that line; it is an imbalance. If a cat meows; you look up. This interruption is; small as it is; a change or, deviation from the line. At this point, your brain needs to make a decision; do you further react or, do you ignore? This decision is made using the definitions in your brain. Fact or (functional); you like cats-(emotional)you want to pet the cat-(functional) you are allergic to cats=you will ignore or, possibly move away.
The last bit is decided by how allergic you are or, if the cat is moving toward you or; if you are a more emotionally minded person; the want, to pet the cat may be stronger than the need to stay away from it. We’ve all known people whom, knew better than to do something but, they just couldn’t help themselves. It looked like a good idea at the time.
