by anonymous on 2005-06-24 19:52:14i once read an excerpt from the muslim philosopher Al Gazhali on the gradual unfoldment of our rational and moral sense. just as the child learns to see the rational truth in logical facts and statements, so does the man eventually grow to experience the god within. until then, why debate about it? create! :) -

Once your sense of morals begins to outway rational truth and logical facts you are no longer growing up, you are degrading (in a logical sense). At that point, your feelings and emotions mean more to you than what you can physically prove.
Experience is usually a good thing, but experience with believing in your own imagination does no one good. I would go so far as to say it does harm when your imagination, inevitably, disagrees with someone else's.
