feels v. reason

Post by Advocate »

"Because it makes me feel good" is the opposite of a reason.. there is no reason inherent or welcome. A reason would be "It makes me feel good and doesn't harm anyone else."; a balancing of important and likely effects.

Feelings are the root of all motivation. They provide ALL reasons for action.
