Once you see it, you can't un-see it.
Listen around you how people talk. Count how many say, "I think..." "I think that..." and how many say "I feel..." "I feel like..."
And I'm not talking about cases where it's called for, to describe actual feelings (which are quite real, let's face it -- humans are part animal) such as "I feel great", "I feel like a third wheel", "I feel left out", etc.
More like liberals saying, "I feel like Trump is just..." or "I feel that Trump isn't giving undocuŠ¼ented immigrants a chance..." They actually betray how they came to their conclusion! Feelings, completely pulling it out of their butt -- ZERO reasoning, brains, or facts were involved in reaching their conclusion. It's all about THEM and their SUBJECTIVE FEELINGS.
It is evidence of a fundamental shift away from our higher nature (reason, free will) and a movement towards our animal nature (feelings/emotions, appetites).
We share appetites and feelings with the brute beasts -- our intellect and free will are the faculties that make us like the angels -- how we were created "in God's image".
P.S. -- Put this down for one of my biggest pet peeves. It annoys me the more because I know how fundamentally perverse it is (as I just explained).
Yes. As a Catholic you object to the cultural abandonment of Objective Reality. Western Civilization or Christendom is based on this truth is explained in Plato's Allegory of the Cave. Certain truths exist, regardless of anyone's opinion. From the Objective Reality perspective, God is the measure of all things.
We live in a cesspool of Subjective Reality, which is the Marxist perspective which says that no ultimate Truth exists, all is based on one's personal opinion or feelings. This was expressed by the Greek philosopher Protagorus who taught the Marxist leftist notion that "Man is the measure of all things."
This is one of the main differences between the City of God and the City of Man.
