  • the nature of reality as discovered through national investigation (2:42) X It is only the heart that can see clearly; the essentials are invisible to the eye. (Little Prince by Exupery) Truth is not only subject to ration. In fact our minds are not capaple of encompassing the truth. Our capacity is too limited, as we can see from the deeds of humanity. Warfare, injustice, lack of proper social organization, endowment of harm upon the beauteous nature. Nosce te ipsum.

  • @tuashiave Quite the contrary, the heart sees the least clearly. In psychology, this is called cognitive bias. You see what you want to see. I do not discount the role and importance of emotion, but it must always be subject to reason. Otherwise you find yourself in a state of self-delusion and call yourself enlightened.

  • @EvilDandy and please keep in mind that pyschology is a disipline mostly yields to a materialistic understanding of human nature. As far as my knowledge and observation is concerned, most of them tend to ignore the existence of the soul, and consider that human actions are the outcomes solely of our brains. If you look through the perspective of physchology which is a secular disipline, you will subject everything to our tiny brains.

  • Wow that explained nothing... but thx

  • This really helped with my essay, one of the topics being romanticism. few more pages to go and couple hours till its turned in w00t

  • Nice.

  • @Johnny75416 Absolutely. Far too often when someone argues emotion over reason, what they are arguing for is THEIR emotion, and not emotion in general. The thing about emotions is that they are conditioned responses. The people we feel affinity with are those with the same, similar, or complimentary emotional programming as ourselves. Also, as any skilled manipulator knows, it is the heart strings that control the puppet.
