Spinoza knows a thing or two about knowing a thing or two. You might benefit from listening.

Like we say in Holland: that is pearls for the swines. Meaning like, its useless giving something nice or sophisticated to beings that will not appreciate or understand it anyway. And I think most responding negatively at the quote of this Jewish Dutchmen are Yanks…hence what I said. Not on that level.

That saying comes from the Bible.

Not op but it seems like it's based off ego.

Why does any of that stuff matter? It seems as if the post image believes that having emotion is bad or a fault.

Emotion just is. Why would one want to remove emotion from life? Why does the post make it seem as if emotion is bad? It's as if the creator is proud to be emotionally harder and inhuman.

Seems as if the image is used as emotional abuse towards those that have natural human emotion instead of promoting actual understanding.

The post seems to contradict itself.

Any that's my over-thought answer to the question that you asked someone else. ✌️🙌

There's not enough context imo for the viewer to get or walk away with what I assume the original thinker was trying to get across.

i dont think it says emotions are bad. The message is that our intuitive action of judging someone based on our emotional response to it is sub optimal. So we need to strive to understand it.

Yeah exactly. But the quote might too short or not concise enough to get that point across to all viewers so for some it may come off as condescending. And I think that's was the op in this subthread meant. 🙌
