I think this is quite an interesting topic to talk about..
I'm just coming from your post about small things and that quote really caught my attention. I wish I could quote that and talk about it but my conversation with @stevenson7 gave me other ideas.. so bruhh this is the quote
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

This quote resonates with me because I use to think of myself as a rationalist in some sense. I was a firm believer that logic and reasoning always superceded emotions and feelings and to a large extent I still believe to some extent this logic. What I didn't realize until I read this quote was that people chase after reasoning but are motivated and driven by their emotions.
I have come to realize through my interactions and my experiences with people that the fuel for any action is not the reasoning behind it but the emotion behind it..
It might make sense but if it doesn't feel right people won't follow it.. I beginning to learn now that reasoning and emotion work hand in hand and none is independent of the other.. God as I write this I realize now that even though I know this truth my emotions won't let me live it.. oh wretched man that I am, who shall save me.
Ehhnn back to business.. people register emotions quicker than they register feelings and a huge part of our experiences in life and our interactions with life is based off of how our minds feel in that moment...
Alright that's enough writing this is beginning to make me feel some type oh way so no.. another one
