Ia sentimentality a view or emotion held by a person which is disproportionate to the subject?
We must have the sentimental - those who dream of better ways through intuition, with a sense or feeling about the nature of a thing or event How can you bring reasoning and rational thinking into the pot if the emotional responses haven't yet been considered, categorized and cleared of the subjective element: fear, anxiety, joy and even love.
One view is not better than the other. Each are needed but through a different lens with clear eyes or at least as clear as we can get them, by putting the emphasis on dealing with the emotion first. Would that foster better communication? Less "inappropriate expressions of anger". Less substance abuse?
We have very few human practices for this (feeling before thinking), and so, it is no wonder that half the commercials i see are for meds for depression!!! We're just a walkin', balkin', suffering bunch of stuffed emotions!! Yikes.
Ah, yes, but as the "sentimentalist", i assert the hope for our future to find a way to bridge the gap between thinking and feeling.
As a rationalist, i think the above is airy-fairy Liberal guk and is not the most expeditious way of getting at the truth or knowing of what to do next.
Ta Da - sorry, really just rambling.
