- ScottBurson 16y agoUgh. This kind of thing is the last thing this person needs to hear. Emotions are real and powerful. Although they certainly affect thoughts and can be affected by thoughts, they aren't reducible to thoughts, and can't just be waved away with a flick of the mind.
- xenophanes 16y agoI take it you think it's false. And that false statements about emotions are harmful to upset people. Would that be a fair way of putting your complaint that doesn't assume without argument that it's false? I put it to you that some people think it is true, and that if it is true it will help. Let him judge for himself what advice he deems true, instead of you trying to tell everyone who thinks differently than you to withhold advice!
