• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Question for you .... do our thoughts control our emotions or do our emotions co tell our thoughts?

I know this doesn’t have anything to do with the books we are reading am simply trying to figure out why we as people do the things we do

I’m pretty green at philosophy. Getting all the terminology memorized is even a task. Wait, are you making fun of me?? Is that what the green face is all about!!?? Lol. I would say that your thoughts control your emotions IMO

Yes I see your point. A lot of times I think that things are a combination of both, I think this is too, but I guess I was just answering the question like a poll of which one I think is the more powerful influence. And then negative thoughts can also be creating a routine of ‘Bad emotions’ so there’s that.

However if you were to add physical pain into the mix ugh, like someone who lives with constant headaches or even worse, than I think that just thoughts wouldn’t be the most powerful influence on your emotions anymore.
