Intuition vs. Emotion

Real Life Situation: It’s late at night, when you are walking on the road, you feel like someone is following you and you start running.

This might happens to many people before if you are walking outside at night. Suddenly you just somehow know that something dangerous is going happen and that feeling makes you have an increasing rapid heartbeat, you feel yourself sweating and shivering or even have a rush of adrenaline, and you just want to start running. This is because your intuition told you that someone is following you and that triggers your emotion of fear.

It doesn’t matter whether your intuition is right or wrong, your environment and situation gives you this intuition. Because of your observation of the darkness and quietness around you, it gives you the feeling of someone is following you. In this situation, the emotion of fear prompts you to start running because if there is really someone that’s following you, the best solution is to run to some where that’s safe.
