To Think or To Feel? - This is the modern day question:

[Timothy Gega]

Hamlet.To be, or not to be- that is the question:<o:p></o:p>

To Think or To Feel? - This is the modern day question:<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>Thinking is selfish and ridgid.<o:p></o:p>

Feeling is understanding and flexible.<o:p></o:p>

Empathy is considerate of others unselfishly.<o:p></o:p>

“Thinking” (mind) is a one dimensional act.<o:p></o:p>

“Feeling” (visceral) is a two dimensional act.<o:p></o:p>

“Thinking and Feeling” (combined) is a three dimensional act.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Feelings include: Compassion, Intuition and Inclusion.<o:p></o:p>

Thinking excludes: Empathy, Understanding and Unity.<o:p></o:p>

Feelings are one’s animalistic-emotional functions.<o:p></o:p>

Thinking is one’s human-mental thought processes.<o:p></o:p>

Feelings without thought or intelligence is <o:p></o:p>

no better than thinking without feelings.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Talking is a one dimensional act.<o:p></o:p>

Shouting is a two dimensional act.<o:p></o:p>

Communicating clearly and calmly is:<o:p></o:p>

a three dimensional experience.<o:p></o:p>

Thinking (only) puts every idea into an iron box.<o:p></o:p>

Feeling, (without reasoning) puts others into an iron box.<o:p></o:p>

Thinking and Feelings (combined) liberates everyone’s possibilities.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Ophelia. My honour'd lord, you know right well you did,<o:p></o:p>

And with them words of so sweet breath compos'd<o:p></o:p>

As made the things more rich. Their perfume lost,<o:p></o:p>

Take these again; for to the noble mind<o:p></o:p>

Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.<o:p></o:p>

There, my lord.<o:p></o:p>

~ Shakespeare<o:p></o:p>

Thinking, Feelings, and Experiences combined are true Wisdom.
