Facts and not merely opinions are what we want. Emotionalism

Summary

It underscores the importance of relying on evidence, data, and objective information to form informed opinions and make accurate judgments. The quote also implies that emotionalism, which refers to decisions driven purely by emotions, can potentially lead to biased perspectives and misguided conclusions.

Love all God's creation, the whole and every grain of sand of it. Love every leaf, every ray of God's light. Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.
