Is being more emotional than logical a plain weakness or personality trait?

No, I am not insinuating that I'm an idiot. Thing is, I am a person who gets upset easily. I am very sensitive. I often sympathize with people, which may even cause my judgment to cloud, even if the problem is the person's own fault. I understand that's kind of dumb, but humans aren't perfect, and life is a climb where every now and then someone will slip and get hurt. However, this doesn't really impede me and I live a pretty normal life. People often ridicule me about being more emotional. I always thought that whether a person is "logical" or "emotional" was just a part of who you are, rather than as a "loose screw" that needs to be "fixed." Also, there is no arrogance intended here; I am merely giving an explanation. Another reason why I could be like this (even if I'm sort of blaming it) is that I also have autism. So is it a bad thing that I'm emotional, and if it is, how can I change it?
