What is more important KNOWLEDGE or FEELINGS?

Question

...to gain WISDOM!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Feelings are an important part of our decision making - we cannot function without them.

However knowledge always has a higher priority and veto power.


For example, you may *feel* like doing something immoral or wrong, but it is your knowledge that would tell you that it is wrong and not to act upon that feeling - so knowledge here vetoes feeling, as it should in this case.

Answer 2

Neither- Wisdom is more important than both.
Wisdom tells us what to do with all the the knowledge we have received and how to act upon our feelings after we have interpreted them.

Answer 3

I would say both are needed to gain wisdom.

Answer 4

A bit of both..... any idiot can be a walking book of knowledge, but to feel is to really know the things you KNOW. But to only feel will stop you from attaining aspects of knowledge that don't coincide with you feelings. Feel for Knowledge not Knowledge for Feeling. Cant have one without the other :)

Answer 5

I would have to say knowledge. A life lived full of emotion but devoid of knowledge would, after a time, come to feel very shallow, empty and meaningless. Knowledge is what gives understanding to life, which in turns gives it flavor and spice.

Answer 6

I would have to say knowledge. Feelings can hurt and bring "highs and lows" we cannot control, but knowledge always (good or bad) is an improvement.

Answer 7

to gain wisdom

Answer 8

The nail. Without feeling you might just be a computer and you couldn't ask the question and I sure wouldn't marry you. Of course a computer might not agree. Great question, it solidified my feelings on the matter and I gained knowledge.

Answer 9

both are important but to gain wisdom , faith is very important.

Answer 10

knowledge! if we had no knowledge then how could we interpret our feelings?
