The world we exist in is places greater emphasis on Intelligence in school, society and machines.
School (Get good grade [intelligence] more than be a better person [emotion])
Society (Where is the information, money and brains but what about feeling, expression and emotion?)
Machine (Way more money and time is put into AI [Artificial Intelligence] than EI[Emotional intelligence])
Why? when life seems more emotional than intelligence, emotions can invoke more of a response than intelligence.
We might be able to process thoughts and make decisions in the short term but much of our long term decisions come from emotions.
Why is there little focus on emotion or growing emotional tools in school, I see a little of it in churches but even there is more about the mind and reading holy books, where is existing the heart and towards other life forms?
