When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but of emotion. (Dale Carnegie quote)

Yes, BUT:

Reason and logic are distinctively human features. But so few humans use these features.

That’s why we are where we are.

For God’s sake: Start THINKING, people!

Also: Your feelings are just a form of thought. When you feel something, you are thinking something. The thoughts may or may not be rational and valid; the thoughts may or may not be wise to act upon. But your feelings are your thoughts.

So you can’t escape the need to think … including about your own thoughts and feelings.
