Facts are ALWAYS greater than emotions or fictions. Facts have staying power and can exist forever, but emotions and fictions always die a very painful death. And not always quickly.

I put feelings down as the greater force. That is based upon how our society deals with things. However, I believe that facts should be the greater source.
Just my opinion.

That's my basic philosophy as well. But I see I big problem with misinformation and ignorance being portrayed as fact and it is extremely difficult to compensate for in that confusion.

Feelings are very primitive, and gets the best of us many times.

My feelings on the 'whole' are created out of facts!

Sadly feelings carry more weight with most people my age and older. I makes for lots of poor decisions.
