Thought and Emotion

We as thinkers are always attempting to harmonize with the reality around us. Though there will always be those of us content to reside in long-discredited, artificial worldviews because they conveniently explain everything in line with our preconceived prejudices.

Ideas themselves are a product of the intellectual/emotional environment at the place and time of their conception. Ideas can be mellow, observatory, or aggressive and radical and imperialistic, due to the emotional reactions of the individuals entertaining the ideas. The ideas then spread among those under the same emotional conditions across time.

Ideas could be conceived as emotional vectors, directions in force that are encased with logical symbols and semantics so that they can be communicated on our higher channels of thought. In this way perhaps, our higher level processes are less engines and more regulatory systems attempting to guide emotive engines for constructive purposes.
