the soft tax your brain charges every decision you swore was logical

means A feeling, attitude, or emotional opinion about something — often tender, often colouring a judgment that pretends to be purely rational.

from From Medieval Latin sentimentum, 'feeling, sense,' built on Latin sentire, 'to feel, perceive, sense' — the same root that gives us sense, sentient, and resent. It drifted into English through Old French sentement around the 14th century, first meaning a personal opinion or perception, and by the 1700s had ripened into the warmer, more emotional 'sentiment' we know, just as the cult of fine feeling and 'sentimental' novels was flourishing.
