I need insights on this quote. If it even means anything at all..
"Do not trust me when I feel; Trust me when I think. However, do trust what I feel and don't trust what I think."
Now my interpretation is that when you talk using feelings, don't trust the words you say because feelings can take over and your words can become manipulative. (It really depends on the situation here, I guess.) Hence, when you talk when you think, it's less manipulative in the sense that it is more impartial.
Now here's where my reasoning starts to confuse me: what you feel is the result of all you are and in that sense, it's pretty pure. So WHAT you are feeling, trust that. Your thoughts, no matter how impartial, have probably been thought over again and again and sieved through your brain many times, so you can't trust WHAT you think??? This is the part that seems paradoxical and flawed to me and I can't explain it.
Do you guys have a better explanation or insight to this quote?
