It’s becoming clearer and clearer to me as I grow older that feelings hold power on their own, because logic and emotion don’t necessarily interfere each other.
When I get stuck in philosophy, I sometimes turn to neuroscience. They say the limbic system is where one person’s emotions can influence another’s. No reasoning included.
Karl Jaspers has a famous quote, “Education is like a tree shaking a tree, a cloud inspiring a cloud, a soul awakening another soul.”
Somehow, I’m convinced it all comes down to feeling and passion. Knowledge, in the end, matters the least.
