"Always Trust Your Feeling." Really?

Image
"Always Trust Your Feeling?"  This dictum sounds familiar and appealing. It is often used by my colleagues to address the students who consumes without any thought analysis. It sounds wise, thus the popularity. However, the reality is nuanced and misleading. This article discusses why the dictum is appealing and explores to interrupt the assumptions that frame the popularity of the dictum. Why does this dictum sounds fascinating?  The combination of "trust," "your," and "feeling" powerfully blends to tap into appealing aspect of human psychology and experiences.

While the knowledge base of society is rapidly shifting towards scientific data, histories and their stories are worth recoding before being entirey regarded obsolute and discarded. Here is one such story for record.  The founding Lama, Drubthop Ngawang Samten of TaPhag Goenpa ༼རྟ་ཕག་དགོན་པ་༽ was rearing horeses for riding and for trasnportation of goods to his monsatery. The use of horses, however, are subject to the requirement which happened only couple of times a year. The Lama had no horseman to man his horses and they were left to graze freely in the open meadows around and below the monastery.  While this continued for many years, it so happened that horses roamed too far into the wheat fields of Yoeling (Weling) village and helped themslves with the wheats in unguarded fileds.
