RE: Emotions Often Win Over Reason, Feeling-Good Can Matter More than Facts

in #philosophy6 years ago

Many folks would rather feel the short term effects of feeling good and the long-term effects of using reason and their brain. The addictive drug of feeling good and kicking the can down down the lane often is used rather than taking the hard necessary medicine of using the brain and thinking with reason. A common practice a Feeling Good yet being lazy about dealing with the true issues at hand. Thanks for sharing such a good article @krnel

Yup, we're so hardwired to want to feel good we avoid, deny and deflect the potential betterment of working through the hard thinking that can heal.
