Dr.Zohar asked in Arts & HumanitiesPhilosophy · 1 decade ago

Your opinion...?

A contemplative mind yields the strongest passions. This is why a thoughtful person loves ardently and sees clearly what he or she loves.

    If the contemplative mind combines both the rational and emotive aspects of the psyche then the answer is likely yes. Likely only because it would be foolish to assert that only the contemplative mind can arouse passions to their highest extent. As with all things human, the contemplative mind can be deceived and the emotions cloud one's judgment.

    I personally think a contemplative mind is too busy contemplating, therefore, devotes more energy into thought than passion.

    That does not mean that the person has the will to translate that into action. A thought or desire is only relevant to others if expressed.

    Here is where the contemplative and the physical need to meet and agree. Love unexpressed in words and actions is not love but self indulgence.

    Yes, a "contemplative" and passionate mind is an "open" mind...this can lead to a tender, more fragile heart, however...so, the thoughtful should "beware"...

    In contemplating an opinion for your statement, I became passionately self indulgent and therefore have no clear opinion for what you said.

    Do not ask what you want out of life but ask of what life wants out of you.

    Too dismissive and too, well, easy.
