Not that I have any belief in MBTI left, but according to the theory, that original post is a whole load of Feeling, you know.
Casual acceptance of a dichotomy just because a non-falsifiable system dictates it.
Flowery rhetoric.
Absolutely lovely and just as nonfunctional metaphors.
Language steeped in almost sub-conscious subjectivity.
Mmhm. I'll use this to make my point:
A life without feeling is as cold and empty as death.
This is, for example, absolutely incorrect if you think about it. If our world had been devoid of emotions, we wouldn't miss them. I'm not saying because I don't appreciate them (I definitely do), but simply because one can't miss what one has no idea of and doesn't possess. What would be your reaction if I told you that there were absolutely no lalawhams in the world? You'd ask me what they were, but I wouldn't be able to describe them because they simply don't exist and you wouldn't be able to relate to them. In a world with no emotions, therefore, we would give the same reaction. There's no point in romanticizing such an absence. The reality is that we would be entirely capable of living and we wouldn't need to characterize ourselves as an "abortion" or "cold as death."
Hmm, I like this. Here's another:
The sacrifice required in loving.
Really? What sacrifice are you talking about? Loving is an absolute wonder shower for our nervous system, you know. Loving is feeling, yes, and it's also very, very logical. The "sacrifice" part is usually more a sociological and economical reality than a psychological impetus. The societal construction of a monogamous relationship might require such rituals, but where loving is concerned, there's no such requirement.
Also, I'd say that that such ways of living as "losing oneself in the emotions", or "thinking, leading with your heart" are not particularly impressive and often end up destructive. The problem is in the imagined dichotomy, that logic and feeling must be opposed to each other in some way. I repeat, there's no such opposition. Humans are able to feel the way they do
because they think and as such are aware of what they are going through, and are spurred to greater, higher realms of thought and reasoning
because heightened curiosity compels them, a function of emotion. And it all has an organic basis, namely our complex, and still not entirely understood nervous system.
There's no need to thank "those who lead with feeling" or "those who prefer to think" for this, in fact this is an unhealthy approach. You're basically blocking your way to self-development and actualization by going through these motions, by creating imagined borderlines in the name of supposed self-growth. Understand your complexity as a human being, apply reason to your emotions and vice versa,
try to know why you feel the way you do and why you think the way you think and you'll quickly surpass whatever it is that MBTI can offer you. The only reason why MBTI exists is that science has not completed its work on the organic basis of personality and the nervous system's functioning yet.
