The Failure of Feelings
We all have feelings. We respond to what we perceive around us and within us. Typical feeling statements might include: I feel hungry, I feel sleepy, I feel thirsty, I’m tired, I’m hot, etc. All of these statements describe needs or deficiencies that can be “felt.” You have never asked anyone, “Am I sleepy?” That would be foolish. You are the only one who knows how you feel. But there are some things our feelings cannot do. Our feelings can’t tell us all of our needs.
