But aren't your values produced by being subjected to something and anything. My values come from some experience and thought but a person or book can put those experiences and thoughts into me in the first place.
If someone told you something you never heard before and after researching it and coming to the same values as the same person who told you the topic doesn't mean you are following them but instead agree with the same conclusion.
Depends on what it is I read or was told. If it goes against my inner gut feelings...I dismiss it. I go with my intuition. I thought most everyone did as well.
I'm more logic than feelings one of the future topics I hope to host on this site is the question of "Is empathy a con or pro when finding a solution to a problem?"
MY gut says "pro". Without empathy...one is....empty of ....something.
I guess the best way to articulate this is with an example,
Lets take rent laws as this example. When the idea of making landlords not charge high amounts for apartments so the poor can afford them easier sounds nice and makes you feel an empathetic thought for them which can lead you to being for that law but if you put more thought and play it though you find that in the end it hurts the very ones you try to help in the first place.
