Feelings vs. emotion: an important difference
I felt more manipulated than informed by the news reports.
I turned off the TV after the evening news. I wanted real concepts to chew on. But I felt more manipulated than informed. I wanted to think, not feel, as I digested the news.
Awhile later I began to worry about that response. Too much emphasis on feeling might lead to extremism; but too much emphasis on thinking and analyzing could make a person heartless and uncaring.
The Bible gives an important example of the balance I was seeking: the life of Jesus, who certainly was both one of the clearest thinkers and one of the most caring individuals the world has ever known.
