Our feelings are unreliable and cannot be trusted to convey truth.

Joyce Meyer
About This Quote

Our feelings are unreliable and cannot be trusted to convey truth when we have to make a choice from a series of options. We can’t trust them to determine the best course of action because they are always biased along a particular direction. For example, if you feel like going out for ice cream but your friend says she has a headache, it is not really a good idea to go to the ice cream shop.
