Translation. Emotion is the antithesis of reason. And yeah, I've been crazy too on occasion.

 

[raindancer]

Why is it that crazy is used in conjunction with emotional?

 

[bellisarius]

Why is it that crazy is used in conjunction with emotional?

Because when the hormones kick in, rational thought takes a vacation.

Why is it that crazy is used in conjunction with emotional?

It's because people do illogical things when their emotions rule.

 

[raindancer]

So one can't be an emotional being with logical thought?

Certainly, one can and it's likely to be the majority, but the majority doesn't make the news..

Why is it that crazy is used in conjunction with emotional?

Because maybe "crazy" can be a subjective judgement of one's emotions.

We can't discuss Nietzsche without a few hours and a bottle of Absinthe!

 

[raindancer]

Ah yes, subjective.

I only have wine and beef ribs.

That is the ideal, isn't it? To be neither robot nor animal, but take our emotions into full account without being controlled by them.

Nietzsche would have called such a person the Superman.

He would have associated insanity more with groups of people than with the individual as well.

 

[raindancer]

Ribs and wine! That's more a Freud environment.

 

[bellisarius]

So one can't be an emotional being with logical thought?

Well, that's a tough question. For the most part, No. And the hard part is based on self awareness. One can argue a logical position with emotion, one cannot argue an emotional 'feeling' logically.

Watch some Jordan Peterson videos. Whether you agree with the content or not, he presses his points with emotion without losing rational context. The antithesis of Peterson would be those that spout emotional sound bites without any serious thought to back their statements up. In other words, "How you going to make that happen?"

Very interesting! Thank you!

They are still in the cooker and are pretty damn tasty if the bits of meat I've snitched are any indication.

 

[raindancer]

Damn. That looks tasty!

Why is it that crazy is used in conjunction with emotional?

Because it is the description when in extreme and complicated state.

It is why you need to give that love to a person you know you can trust.

Well, you are one hormonal bitch so I'll agree with you on this one.

 

[raindancer]

That's probably true.

 

[Luk]

I was sent this today. 'Spose it fits here.

 

[raindancer]

Ugh.

Love v Lust.

I LOVE green Chile, but I hardly allow it to control my life. And I'm quite capable of loving individuals without ceding to the control of my life. That has nothing to do with trust, it has everything to do with survival, both emotional and material.

In any interpersonal relationship there are at least three components involved. Your life, my life, and our life. In a relationship I would expect you to discuss any decision you make concerning my life and our life with me before hand. And I would expect you to think very carefully, sometimes the most trivial of decisions have a ripple effect. I would would expect you to expect the same of me.

The whole "Love is blind trust" meme is nothing more than bullshit platitudes. It leads to disaster more often than not.
