what does frustration sound like?

how can a person orient their lives by one or the other? emotion and logic are so opposed sometimes.

we live our lives gathering what feels good to believe in, and we cling to that. whatever we can believe in that gives us hope or some other kind of good feeling - give us that, please. what's that? no, no. don't give us logic. we don't like that. logic challenges our cherished beliefs that give us our cherished feelings. no, thank you. we'd rather believe a lie than know the truth, as long as it makes us feel good. feeling good is what matters. we don't want the truth - not if it challenges our beliefs.
