Can emotion be a way to truth as reason is?
#13
RE: Can emotion be a way to truth as reason is?
Emotions in dire situations have been demonstrated to be at times detrimental, for instance I have been in situations where my life was in danger. I have had several mugging attempts with weapons at times and the only thing that got me through most of them was my training as a martial artist and my ability to nullify my emotions and keep them in check.

Emotions can lead you to do stupid things without giving them adequate thought and if not kept in check can even at times lead to your death. In situations such as I have described above you have but a split second to decide what to do, and that split second is the difference of you making it out alive or dead. I don't trust my emotions and as has been stated many times I too believe that the mind is the most powerful weapon we posses. Emotions are secondary and should always be carefully scrutinized before one acts upon them.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
