Why You Shouldn’t Trust Your Feelings


It is easy to grow old with a sense that our senses are a trusted guide
For ourselves and for people around us and for the whole world.
We can call this optimistic theory the theory of the “pure part” of the mind,
Assuming we are able to look at the world
To some extent as if we were looking across a smooth and clear glass without any scratch.
But a long journey of research in ancient philosophy warned us of the far-fetched truth.
Assumed the school of thought known as the doctrine of suspicion that emerged in ancient Greece
In the third century BC, a large part of our sense of first impressions, which seems coherent
It should not be considered accurate and correct
But must be subjected to a process of analysis and logical disassembly.
Far from being transparent and pure, our minds are full of scratches, blind spots and distortions.
So to be wise in the doctrine of doubt you have to struggle always vigilant
Regardless of all the times we have come to the reality that we misunderstood
Trusting our first senses and impressions.
One example of our distorted minds which fascinated the Greeks specifically
It was a strange phenomenon that occurs when a stick is partially immersed in water
The rod looks as if its corners have been divided into a “V” at the moment the surface of the water touches it.
But if we pull the stick out we’ll of course see it straight.
The followers of the doctrine of skepticism used this small example as a gateway and outlet for the vast truth:
Our feelings are subject to error in a humiliating manner.
The way things usually appear to us is simply not what they really are.
The ideas of the doctrine of doubt were the leading force for the development of ideas of modern science.
In the middle of the sixteenth century Polish philosopher and astronomer Copernicus proved it
That whatever our senses brought us to hundreds of thousands of years
According to logical thinking the sun in fact does not revolve around the earth.
But followers of the doctrine of skepticism were not only interested in the mistakes we make in our study of the universe
But were also caught up in our tendency to fall into error in our personal lives
As a result of the influence of our feelings and feelings.
For example: our brains rarely have a mood effect:
Any kind or form of emotion explores our mental horizon
Naturally without understanding the reason that brought these moods to us
And when we will stop feeling it
Or even to know its existence.
Whatever it is, these moods can have a decisive impact on our ideas.
Perhaps we thought in one of them that we were lucky
With a bright future and we felt grateful to those around us.
Then after a few hours and without changing anything in the outside world
Perhaps we have been led by another mood to re-evaluate almost everything around us.
It is disturbing that part of your being subject to this mood is not to realize that you are a reality between your jaw.
Where we simply feel that our friends who we loved yesterday are not good
And that our functions, which have been presented to us previously, are unreasonable.
Fatigue can be a somewhat powerful factor that marries silently and vaguely our judgment.
Following the nineteenth-century philosopher of skepticism Frederic Nietzsche said:
“When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas that we believe we have long defeated.”
But more importantly, it is very rare and unorthodox to judge the possibility of exhaustion
Is what affects our outlook and expectations rather than certain objective realities in the world.
We are anxious to reach the conclusion that suddenly we are filled with deep resentment towards humankind
And that we have the utmost need to go to our family.
You can also lust to manipulate our judgments
To lead us to see an alternative to our current partner more sensitive, compassionate and respectful
While in fact it is an exceptionally beautiful appearance
And probably none more.
As the skeptical German philosopher Arthur Schönbacher summed up sarcastically,
“After intercourse immediately you can hear the devil’s laugh.”
Accept and appreciate the completeness of our minds
Constitute the foundations on which the doctrine of doubt is based on the aspect of feelings
This skill is defined as a cautious awareness of the misleading power of our emotions that affect our judgment
What is revealed is the fragility of our minds
Which philosophers proposed the doctrine of doubt in ancient Greece
To learn to form a reaction to the so-called “Epoche”
Which translates into “precaution” or “disobeying the rule.”
But our awareness of our tendency to error
Will prevent us from rushing to make decisions.
Where we will leave our ideas to settle down and calm down
Let’s evaluate multiple points of the subject for a period of time
Let us be particularly careful about the impact of sexual excitement and fatigue
To shape our plans and trends.
For historical reasons
We were collectively opposed to and strongly reject the recognition of the merits of the doctrine of skepticism regarding feelings
We inherited the Romantic movement in the 19th century
The idea that deception and camouflage will usually distract us from the solution
But it is our feelings that always lead us to the truth.
We will go a long way if we oppose the problems of our minds
If we give ourselves the honor of not listening to our feelings.
Instead, we waited for this unsettling mood to end
We accepted the idea that we had deep pockets of soluble solvents
Which stare at the reality with pieces of glass is unreliable and distorted
And that we must constantly stop issuing judgments and controlling our motives
And to monitor our diet and fight until we sleep early.
