Heart over mind
Never forget that people are emotional beings. All of our reasoning, and even most technical facts and logic stems from emotions. People have a never-ending desire for significance, a feeling of importance.
The desire for significance can be manifested in so many different ways:
- You’re trying to switch lanes in traffic, but another person speeds up (by being in front of you, they forced you to acknowledge their presence).
- It is the fuel behind any career. (Ambition, desire to be great fulfills this need for significance).
- It is also why people become pastors, missionaries and other types of religious workers. (they get this feeling of significance through serving God and people).
- It is also why we bother to document human history! (Historians were typically employed by wealthy people that wanted to be remembered).
- It’s the reason for crime. (By taking something valuable away from you by force, I make you acknowledge my significance in your life).
The desire to feel significant, important, to be connected to others, to be a part of something … is the drive behind reason.
People can channel this desire in a positive or negative way … but they will certainly channel it!
For example, you’re at the DMV.
