"I believe the gut is there to withhold some things that are far too precious for logic to ruin. like, somehow if there is a separation between how we feel and our power to change it, those things remain. logic can only suppress them, nothing more. we have a duty to abide by that gut, because if we don’t, our actions are reduced to a simple calculation. no chances, no pain, no regrets. but that is no way to live a life. we have to put all the chips up despite how likely it is that we will lose them. or else, the chips aren’t worth having. they are safe. their value is diminished. but, alas, talk is cheap. much like a awesome super hero’s creed, we must be defined by what we do. not what’s inside."
