Hello dmb. I've been there. I went so far I had rationality on a pedestal. If you've ever experienced transformation you'll know what I mean when I say that what I came to realize was impossible for me to know prior to the experience. The intellect-over-emotions approach to life can be made to work of course. I made it work for decades. And there's the clue. When something has to be made to work it's a clear signal that something is wrong. We don't make Quality. Quality makes us. The best we can do is simply experience it.
