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

[Timothy Gega]

Hamlet.To be, or not to be- that is the question:


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

Thinking is selfish and ridgid.

Feeling is understanding and flexible.

Empathy is considerate of others unselfishly.

“Thinking” (mind) is a one dimensional act.

“Feeling” (visceral) is a two dimensional act.

“Thinking and Feeling” (combined) is a three dimensional act.



Feelings include: Compassion, Intuition and Inclusion.

Thinking excludes: Empathy, Understanding and Unity.

Feelings are one’s animalistic-emotional functions.

Thinking is one’s human-mental thought processes.

Feelings without thought or intelligence is

no better than thinking without feelings.



Talking is a one dimensional act.

Shouting is a two dimensional act.

Communicating clearly and calmly is:

a three dimensional experience.

Thinking (only) puts every idea into an iron box.

Feeling, (without reasoning) puts others into an iron box.

Thinking and Feelings (combined) liberates everyone’s possibilities.



Ophelia. My honour'd lord, you know right well you did,

And with them words of so sweet breath compos'd

As made the things more rich. Their perfume lost,

Take these again; for to the noble mind

Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.

There, my lord.

~ Shakespeare

Thinking, Feelings, and Experiences combined are true Wisdom.
