Provide some debate material about "follow your feelings":
(1) The purpose of making friends is to find a feeling. Just imagine, if you want to make friends, it is better to study than to learn knowledge, to borrow money, it is better to go to a bank, to have support, it is better to buy insurance, and to show kindness, it is better to do charity. Even if you make friends with others, you can also establish teacher-student relationships, employment relationships, partner relationships, superior-subordinate relationships, etc., without having to choose to make friends. Therefore, the core purpose of making friends is to exchange feelings and find a happy feeling of being connected. Look for the feeling. If you don’t follow the feeling, who will you follow?
(2) Feeling is a relatively reliable judgment that combines multiple factors. Feeling cannot be simply understood as intuition. Listening to his words and watching his actions can form feelings; long-term exposure to things can form feelings; the other person's personality, hobbies, temperament, conversation, opinions, and actions are all the "raw materials" for forming feelings. Therefore, feeling has its comprehensive and profound side, and feeling is credible and reliable.
(3) The probability of success in making friends is not directly proportional to a person’s rationality. As the saying goes, it is no easier for a group of people with highly developed rational thinking to form deep friendships than factory workers or army soldiers. Yes, Marx and Engels established a great friendship, but regardless of individual cases, in the minds of the people, the purest and deepest friendship is still the friendship between soldiers, workers, and classmates.
(4) Understanding people rationally is not suitable for making friends. The most typical person who knows people rationally is the assessment cadre. The superiors formed an assessment team to examine and score the cadres' morality, ability, diligence, performance, and integrity one by one. They were very rational. Its rationality lies in preventing secret operations, nepotism, buying and selling officials, and more importantly, the purpose of selecting cadres is career. But making friends is neither necessary nor possible.
(5) Rationality does not mean comprehensiveness and profoundness. As heads of state, one used to take drugs, drink alcohol, and get into fights, while the other did not smoke, drink, or engage in extramarital affairs, and was very diligent in his work. Normally, reason would lead us to admire the latter. However, the former is Churchill and the latter is Hitler. Therefore, rationality is just a way of thinking. Reason itself is not synonymous with comprehensive, scientific, profound and accurate. Another example is marriage. In feudal society, parents arranged marriages, and in the middle of the last century, there were still organizations that arranged marriages. It sounds like they are all following a rational route, but "matching couples" has led to many tragedies, which fully proves the limitations of rationality.
