But then again I do not see why it is supposed to be a big no no to feel emotions and base some ideas off of observations from that angle. It seems closed minded which I prefer to avoid. It avoids a whole other perspective which may have some good points. We can see things that some others just cannot comprehend and are shamed for it. If we want to run the world like robots get robots for the job. We are human and should not shame others for sharing emotional perspectives. It is what makes us human. Never loose touch with the human condition. Yes, spoken like a true "feeler" artist.

I think the world was built for more machine like "thinker" people. Not us feelers. We get trampled on and shamed for being the way we are. It is just the way I think and I cannot help that.

People forget that "logic" and "reason" can be used to justify anything, including genocide and other atrocities. Here in the US empathy for others has been increasingly demonized on the Right and that is terrifying. "Bleeding-heart liberal" was a common right-wing slur I heard growing up, and right-wing Millennials now constantly make snide remarks like claiming that left-wingers put "feels before reals".

"People forget that "logic" and "reason" can be used to justify anything, including genocide and other atrocities." Exactly. They need us to know whether it feels right or not. I agree with all of your posts on this. I am curious. What was your result from the test? Have you taken it?
