Here is a brief summary that should make my worldview clear:

I think people need their good moods/feelings (their feel-good chemical/neurotransmitter induced states of well being) to allow them to perceive (see) the good value, joy, beauty, happiness, love, and worth in their lives. I don’t think our way of thinking, our outlooks, actions, and our value judgments alone allow us to truly see these qualities. I don’t think we can experience any of these qualities without our good moods/feelings.

Dear Matt:

I appreciate your clear and straightforward brief summary of your worldview. I can understand it now and that makes me feel good. I also agree with your summary, your world view.

We are not rational beings, not primarily. We evolved from other animals, and are, as I see it, primarily animals. This means that before rational thinking there were instincts and emotions to guide us, no logic, no language.

Thing is, we are still instinctual and emotional beings, primarily, and so, we cannot emotionally experience anything at all without those chemicals in our brains and elsewhere in our bodies.

I’m not interested in the message anymore. But, I’m very interested in knowing why this is so important to you. Don’t tell me what you are saying, but tell me what is going on in you that makes this important for you to tell others. What is the urgency within you? Of this, I am very curious.

It’s because I am trying to get to the point where my philosophy (worldview) becomes clear to others. All my attempts have failed. But if I get to the point where, not only is my philosophy clear in a summarized view, but also clear in a further explained message, then others would finally understand me and my views rather than scoffing at them out of ignorance/misunderstanding and name calling me. It’s important that my philosophy is clear to everyone, my therapist, and is backed up by arguments that are also clear to the reader. That way, we can have a real discussion about it rather than people not understanding what I am saying and backing away from any sort of discussion.
