"理性来自理性思维与情感体验的融合"
— Erich Fromm
Simplified Meaning:
Understanding things properly comes from using both our logical thinking and our feelings. Imagine you're deciding whether to take a new job. Rational thought helps you look at the pay, benefits, and commute. But your emotions tell you if it feels like the right job for you, if you'll enjoy the work, and if you like the company culture. In history, great leaders often combined clear thinking and deep feelings. Martin Luther King Jr., for example, logically understood the injustice of racism but also felt deeply for the suffering it caused. This mix helped him fight for civil rights effectively. In everyday life, you can use both your mind and heart when making choices. If you only rely on logic, you might ignore important feelings. If you only follow your emotions, you might miss crucial facts. Combining both helps you make better, more balanced decisions.
