Sometimes our feelings don't seem logical do they? I think there is a basis for them though. |
| RGirl | | posted 25-May-2008 12:55pm |
I disagree with the first as it is but if it read 'Feelings should not always be logical.' I would agree because something feelings are quite logical.
I do agree with the second one. To pretend to think you can easily understand and categorize even your own feelings is delusional. |

I see it as you don't want to rationalize why you feel happy emotions because sometimes that can even ruin it, but to figure out strange negative emotions helps fix them. I don't know. |

I agree with the first sentence. I don't necessarily agree with the second, although it may be true at times. I wish people didn't think there was this great divide between emotions and logic. They're all part of the same system. We've long since learned that both come from the brain, not one from the brain and one from the heart or kidneys or liver or some other organ incapable of generating such things. |

I agree with the first sentence. Emotivism and that. |
| southernyankee | | posted 25-May-2008 2:22pm |
Disagree on both counts. |

WTH? Too abstract for me. Say in modern English, pleez. |

I disagree with them both. Feelings come from somewhere. They are triggered. Most of the time, they are justifiable. Anyone who gets random, untriggered feelings from out of nowhere needs to see a doctor. The second quote is just totally backwards. If you can't rationalize an emotion, you need to worry about your mental health. |

No, not at all.
First of all, rationalizing your feelings may be pointless but isn't dangerous.
There's a difference between rationalizing your feelings and understanding them. Feeling do spring from a comprehensible basis which is ultimately rational. Feelings aren't a "rational" response to an event, but they aren't outside of nature... with some effort you can understand why you feel a certain way, and you can work with that. |

I disagree with them both. Perhaps I do not understand, but I rationalized with my feelings over my answer. |

I got the quote from someone who frequently says odd things and regularly speaks abstract, trying to be clever. lol |

The only way I can think of, that this quote would make sense is if it means that you shouldn't use feelings as a way to confirm or conclude something.
"I had a funny feeling about that person, so I didn't hire him. The feeling must have meant something."
"I had a hunch about that person, so even though I couldn't name a wrongdoing, I called the cops."
That sort of rationalizing is just stupid.
If that's what it means, then I agree with both statements. |

I suppose it could be taken that way. |

nope cant understad it.
To many big words. |

Oh, I don't know... the wording seems too severe to me. Feelings and thoughts and rationalizations all do a kind of dance in our heads. They are interrelated. It can be dangerous, but I assume most people rationalize their emotions. It may be just as dangerous to assume that all feelings and emotions are illogical. |

Is it the kid who founded quoteland.com?

Emotions just get in the way... speaking from personal experience, they fudge everything up.
So no, I don't agree with the quotations. |
| Lahdee | | (reply to they) posted 26-May-2008 3:47pm |
lol I've never heard of quoteland.com. |
| they | | (reply to Lahdee) posted 26-May-2008 6:25pm |
Me neither.
But I googled your quote... came up with a few other stupid quotes... by someone named David Borenstein or something (I forget now).... turns out, he's the dude that started up quoteland.com... and he's like 25.
Where did you pick up the quote? |
| Lahdee | | (reply to they) posted 26-May-2008 9:21pm |
From the headline of a myspace page. A while back she had another " is he who ___" type of quote. The woman also has a strange blog. |
| they | | (reply to Lahdee) posted 27-May-2008 6:58am |
Funny that of all the quotes she could possibly use in the world, she'd pick a stupid one.  |
| Lahdee | | (reply to they) posted 27-May-2008 1:27pm |
I think she makes up stupid quotes. lol |
| they | | (reply to Lahdee) posted 27-May-2008 2:27pm |
Probably. But I don't think she made up this one. |
| aquawolfy | | posted 27-May-2008 4:17pm |
WTH!! I disagree! |
| Lahdee | | (reply to they) posted 27-May-2008 5:04pm |
oh. Interesting. |

 I agree with the first sentence but not the second.
Although either statement in the proper context may be correct, as well either statement may not apply spoken out of context. But speaking generally I do not think that emotions can be quantified into a logical equation, and someone who tries to make sense of emotional turmoil is less dangerous than one that reacts emotionally in an irrational manner.

I agree with the first sentence to some extent, but not the second. I rationalise my emotions, but I don't think I'm dangerous. |

There is nothing wrong with being rational and logical... I always thought I would make an excellant Vulcan... I hate emotions.. |
