Do you associate yourself yourself as a good person by down playing your own feelings and needs. Do you feel like a bad person when you put your needs first?

It's hard to replace a simple concept with a difficult or abstract one, even if the complicated version is correct and the simple concept is wrong.

A beautiful woman delights the eye, a wise woman, the understanding, a pure one, the soul.

Feeling does not dictate fact.

If we feel gross, doesn't mean we
If you feel someone is rich, doesn't mean they are
If we feel dumb, doesn't mean we are
If you feel attacked, doesn't mean you are
If we feel worthy, doesn't mean we are
If you feel misunderstood, doesn't mean you are
If we feel right, doesn't mean we are
If you feel betrayed, doesn't mean you are
If we feel popular, doesn't mean we are
If you feel nothing's wrong doesn't mean it isn't
If we feel... We can question how we feel and if our feelings and reality match up.
But feelings are your fact, you are allowed to feel and it's OK to feel how you do, just be careful... Did reality triggered your feelings or yourself which may contradicts reality...
So what is reality? The world we perceive through our minds and senses which is influenced by how we feel.
The right conclusions for the wrong reasons. Maybe it's taken time to change our thinking behavior but for some "if you know the question, you can get the answer" rings true... It does for me anyway. I'm realising how little we really know... The facts... We do so many things and don't really know why, we give so much advice, but where did we get it? We had the industrial revolution, we are in the IT age... Maybe the sun will rise on the era of fact? Where opinion is not as valued as hard evidence... This sounds like hard work... To prove everything you say and believe, but i find myself questioning any 'fact' that i picked up along the way but didn't have a reliable source... What what is reliable? Trust? And what is trust? The repetition of being right and/or reliable. Chicken or the egg.
The other problem is truth and fact changes with new truths and facts. We aren't as smart as we think us humans... Every generation thinks they are at the height of humanity and that somehow we've figured out most things worth knowing... That's my opinion, not fact. Maybe the era of fact is still a long way off.
