During class discussions, I oftentimes hear sentences starting with "I feel like". I have often asked myself: Why do they say it? Why do they not say "I think"? Then I observed the world around me. The world is constantly telling me to feel. From advertisements promoting carnal desires to hit songs, the culture around me is telling me to follow my senses and my emotions. And I have found that, by observing the behaviors of people around me, most live according to sense than reason.
What baseness is this? We consider ourselves the masters of vast knowledge we possess, but we have abandoned reason. Most people's capacity to think only follows their passions, not the other way around. They pursue objects that fill their carnal desires and make moral judgments based on their emotions. This gives me great fear as to where the human race is headed. If only I had the strength and charisma required, I would gather them and set them on the correct path to humanity.
