			Certain feelings can be rational, for example, intense fear in the presence of a serious threat could be considered an entirely rational feeling. Other examples, like feeling joy in the presence of good events, or humor in response to a funny situation are considered 'appropriate' or 'rational'.
Some feelings, however, such as intense anger at humour or fear in the absence of a real threat, can be considered irrational b/c they are not considered 'appropriate' to the situation.
