Are Your Feelings Valid? Genuine vs. True Emotions
All emotions are genuine, but only some emotions are valid. Just because you feel something, doesn't make its source true.
For egg-sample: If you tell a girl she's getting a bike for her birthday and she's happy, her emotion is genuine. But if you lied to her, she still had a true, genuine emotion... but it's invalidated due to its basis on misinformation.
Both pride and Humility have feelings of greatness... but one falls when its greatness is challenged, and the other doesn't... One has a sturdy wall and the other is crumbling...
An offense is a feeling. An aspect of greatness is a feeling, but feelings don't dictate facts, so it's important to understand the difference.
MORAL: Question your gut reactions - even the positive ones - or you could be misled... by your own feelings.
