Quote:Faith no more, I think without emotionally driven beliefs, we would all become nihilist. No morality, no praise, no value, no goodness, no meaning.
And it's hard to fall in love with someone you feel has no value . So you telling me I shouldn't care about that either.
It seems "marriage" institution might fall without emotionally driven beliefs as well.
No, I'm not saying eliminate emotions; I'm advocating for people to set them aside to the best of their ability when trying to determine the "truth" about the reality around them. Emotions are wonderful tools in the life of a human, just not when you're trying to understand any sort of objective truth about reality.
