ELI5:Why are our irrational thoughts so much stronger than our rational ones?

For example, why do we "follow our heart" more often than what logic and rationality tells us to? Are our desires inherently irrational???

Weird drama ensuing down there :/ but hey let me give this a shot. We follow logic and rationality more. If we did not we would have died many times over. We stop at red lights, don't put our hands in the fire, don't cut our fingers off and even at a psychological level we create an atmosphere around us that gives us peace and serenity such as family friends, organisations etc. There is a very small percentage of our irrational thought process that actually manifests itself compared to the rational ones. It's just that we Don't pay enough attention to all our millions and millions  of rational ones. Our brain just subconsciously handles most of them!
