Human Beings Are Emotional Creatures First, Rational Creatures Second
"Human Beings Are Emotional Creatures First, Rational Creatures Second."
- David Julio Wang
The brain can be metaphorically divided into 3 parts :
1. Reptilian
2. Mammalian
3. Neo Cortex (Rational Brain)
The Reptilian brain is what governs instinct and physiological attributes.
The Mammalian brain is what governs emotions and social bonding.
The Neo Cortex is what makes rational thought possible.
====
Now, in terms of development, the Neo Cortex was the last part of the brain to develop.
The Reptilian brain is nearly entirely subconscious, with the bodies physiological processes going mostly unnoticed by our conscious mind.
The Mammalian brain is our feelings which are extremely powerful.
====
Now, one could say that human beings are physiological creatures first, but doing so would be redundant, since being human is what we are,
so,
I think it is more accurate to say that human beings are feeling, emotional creatures first and rational, logical creatures second.
====
Stop.
Think about this for a moment.
You can feel the truth of this statement.
It just feels right, and this has feeling,
feelings period,
have far more influence over us than all the rational, logical thought in the world.
====
"Why'd you do that?"
"It felt right."
That's ultimately why any of us do anything.

Better To Have The World Hate You For Who You Are, Than Love You For Who You Are Not
"Better To Have The World Hate You For Who You Are,
Than Love You For Who You Are Not." - David Julio Wang
In a world of masks, I would choose to be hated for the face which is mine, than the mask I'm forced to wear.

Man Sharpens Man
"As Iron Sharpens Iron, So Man Sharpens Man." - Proverbs 27:17
It is through contact and interaction with others that a person becomes more developed.
This saying is a powerful one.
I think it will stay with me for a long time.
My thanks to Alex for introducing it to me.

It Takes A Global Village, To Raise A Global Child
"It Takes A Global Village, To Raise A Global Child." - David Julio Wang
The world has become a small place, with the whole of humanity very close to each other.
Cultures are meeting and melding on a scale unseen in the history of humanity.
Today's children are children of the whole human race.
The Internet provides a tool for everyone to interact with each other on a scale heretofore unknown.
The Internet has become a forum for everyone to seek advice from the entirety of one's fellow human beings.
With the Internet, the concept of a Global Village has become a reality.

When A Door Closes, A Window Opens
"When A Door Closes, A Window Opens." - Dutch Proverb
The only constant is change.
When one path in life is blocked,
another path is opened up.
Such is the nature of balance,
and balance is the state the universe will always ceaselessly be seeking.
"There Is No Such Thing As A Dead End,
Even If You Cannot Immediately See A Way Out." - David Julio Wang
This reminds me of Rand in The Wheel of Time when he was trapped in a trunk,
shielded from the True Source,
and going mad from being endlessly cramped, beaten, and asphyxiating.
There appeared no way out,
but desperation drove him to find one,
and he did.
I do not wish that kind of horrible situation on anyone (including myself),
but even when a situation is horrible,
there is a way,
there is a path,
and you can find it.
