Feelings mechanically
FEELINGS (How feelings make sense mechanically)
Think of the world as a large biological system: feelings and beauty tell of the functioning of the parts of the system.
Feelings tell our functional state against a background of normal situation which is described by our thinking and habitual feelings.
* well functioning
* longing for better living conditions
* obstacles or friction on the way
* the ground of life: in social things, in food, in future safety,
in natural living conditions and natural kind of life, etc.
This doesn't make life mechanical, life in itself is valuable! It just makes feelings rational, telling mechanical kind of information about human functioning.
Feelings tell of needs:
* needs of the individual
* needs of the group
* needs of the environment
Fulfilling needs safeguards good health:
* health of the individual
* health of the society
* health of the environment
Feelings and the level of beauty tell of the functioning of the parts of the system.
Feelings tell information which is relevant also from the purely mechanical point of view and so valuable also in harsh competition whether militaristic, economical, intellectual or evolutionary.
FEELINGS EMPHASISE IMPORTANCE
So your feelings tell to you your functional state at each moment: are there any obstacles on your way, how big are they compared to your own forces, is the way of doing suited for your skills, capacity, endurance, for your all kinds of functional needs.
The social relationships are part of the base for living like is food and sleep.
Your own understanding is like a map and an important safety precaution to you against the evilness and stupidity of others. Your understanding, sense of importance about things in life (= in your functioning, in staying fit and healthy and in providing the base for your functioning) attaches you by your feelings to different goals: remember that just those goals are important to your functioning and/or to the functioning of the society. That's why you feel about them: to mark them more important than many other things. Use your understanding to help you to go to the direction which your feelings advice you to go.
Remember to use a holistic view about your life, including the importance of your future and of the demands of living in a society and getting along with ALL the others.
SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS ARE IMPORTANT
Human relationships are a part of the ground for life. So it is natural that we have strong feelings about them: they affect a lot our functioning and our possibilities in life.
