About This Quote

It is true that sometimes we need to do some research and build a logical argument in order to make our point. But too much of it can be a bad thing. In fact, for some people, it can be a complete waste of time. They think that they need to make their point by using logic and philosophy.

The problem with this approach is that it doesn’t involve the part of the mind that is passionate and emotional. This part of the mind can be very powerful and it can bring people closer to their goal and understanding.
