I love thoughtful people who do not divorce reason and emotion

Reason and emotion are not separate continents, we are sentient beings in which the heart and mind usually go hand in hand…

Eduardo Galeano said that “The language that tells the truth is the sentient language.” and that the best people are those who are capable of thinking by feeling and feeling by thinking.

This led him to affirm that “I like thoughtful people, who do not separate reason from the heart. That feels and thinks at the same time. Without divorcing the head from the body, nor emotion from reason.”

No matter how hard we try, we act with our hearts following the logic of our minds and vice versa. We are a whole, we think and feel at the same time and that is how we approach reality.

Managing what we feel is essential to remember what we deserve

Sentipensando is how we relate to love, to friendship, to disappointments, to joys, to our angels and to our demons. We cannot tear ourselves apart or divorce our senses from our thoughts.

When we find ourselves in a complicated relationship We cannot try to be guided only by what we feel. Sometimes we have to leave part of what we feel aside to value more what we deserve.

However, any decision and event in our lives will always be influenced by our emotions and feelings (and thank goodness this is the case because if it weren’t we would be robots).

Sentimental sensitivity, the basis of empathy

There are people with more or less sentipensative sensitivity; In terms of this There are those who think and act according to the belief that in today’s world if you are sensitive and pay attention to your emotions, you will be devoured by circumstances.

That is why it is necessary to reflect, because to feel alive and flow at the same time it is essential to think and feel. How are we going to raise our children prioritizing logic? How are we going to love if we give greater importance to reason?

It seems that emphasizing reason over emotion is a sign of strength and that our emotions and our sensitivity are signs of weakness and weakness. Nothing could be further from the truth, the combination of both is what truly makes us great.

Maintaining a sentipensante philosophy is a way to embrace life and who we really are. In fact, sentipensant people are those who accumulate the greatest charisma and the greatest ability to connect with their environment.

A thoughtful person is a balanced person that offers others confidence, good intentions, emotional intelligence, power and strength to spread their wings and give free rein to their purposes.

Sentimental people are the ones who best understand the importance of small details when it comes to navigating the world. They understand better that our lives are meaningless without the ties that unite us and make us respect each other.

“We act with the heart, but we also use the head, and when we combine the two things like this, we are sentipensantes”

-Eduardo Galeano-

Celebrating the wedding of reason and the heart is the basis of our well-being

We must thank time for showing us that good things come at any time, sometimes hand in hand with our feelings and sometimes embracing our reason.

Hence it is so important that let’s not divorce logic from emotionssince both are needed to understand the world and what happens to us, as well as to make decisions.

Our mind is a sentient mind that collaborates with our environment and that tries to coordinate at every moment to connect with others and make each relationship more satisfying. However, we don’t always know how to balance the scales.

A good social brain is one that balances its relationships based on a sentient language that balances reason and emotion, since neither is better, worse or superior, but rather they need each other to be. Without emotional sensitivity we cannot understand a world built on the basis of reason nor vice versa.

This will determine the happiness of our lives and, at the same time, the quality of our thoughts. At the end of the day it all comes down to the fact that love is not what we want to feel, but what we feel without wanting to.

And whoever does not think this, perhaps he has not been born yet; because really thinking without feeling (or vice versa) is seeing without seeing, listening without listening, loving without loving and living without living. And this is as impossible as the existence of a successful and sincere smile without a feeling of true joy.
