Tears

To me, emotions are like little personal compasses that help us drive our lives by pointing at right and wrong.
If it feels right, then it is right, If it feels wrong, then it is wrong.

Reading and using those little compasses is much harder than using the North/South magnetic needle kind, because they are subjective and easily manipulated. You may recall that after a few conversations with the Emperor, Darth Vader's emotions moved him the wrong way.

Emotions are felt as physical sensations: your bowels ache, you lose your breath, your heart runs wild, and your throat goes dry. I will not bore you with the details, mainly because I don't understand them, but tears are one of the ways your conscience tells you things about you. You know ... things.

I could tell you about my tears, when they come, and what they mean, but I guess that is a little too personal to be shared and understood.

Knowledge

To learn a lot of things does not make you smart.

It only makes you know a lot of things.

If you are smart, you will use your knowledge wisely. If you are very smart, you will use your knowledge to improve your lot, and the lot of those you care for.

It has been said before that if you are very very smart, you will find that your best shot at happiness is to care for every person, animal, plant and rock.

Not because you're humble, but because you're smart.

Well. That's what I've heard, but I don't know. Fungus
