RE: Narcissistic Gorillas In Suits and the Myths of Civilisation
We need to admit that we are irrational and emotional beings that are not always governed by logic.
In fact, most decisions people make are not based on logic, but emotions. This has been well documented. People like to think they are logical but they are not. This is a hard pill for most to swallow.
Exactly very few decisions are based on logic, - emotional reasoning tends to play a very strong part but I think most people are not honest with themselves about that even if they are shown the research.
I have to be very vigilant about this because I have a tendency to become embroiled in heated thought, which is driven by emotions. One of the practices I do is artistic expression of emotions, which tends to clear out my circuitry. I make art when I feel overloaded, and I try to do this instead of arguing with others to make them "see my point." My art does the story telling, and people then can choose to voluntarily "see my point". It helps me maintain more of a balance. It also helps me to see all sides of an issue better because I also get to see my own perspective through time. This process allows me to see my faults and also my mental shortcomings. Blogging helps also......but sometimes I feel that arguing to prove a point does more damage than good......
Yes for sure.
