reducing knowledge to feeling; and feelings to action
Knowledge,feeling and doing
How do we reconcile the deeply angular inverted pyramid of a vast knowledge base, but only little of it evoking feeling and still lesser coercing us to act, do some thing about realising the potential of those feelings.
It is true that none of us can really act on all the feelings we have about all the issues on which we accumulate knowledge about. Sanity demands constricting the scope of concerns on which we can focus, invest emotions in and be responsible for. But then how much denudation should take place on the forest of knowledge before we get alarmed and feel compelled to take action determines the boundary of our persona.
Action could also be no action. We decide not to act on a large number of feelings and we also decide not to feel about a lot of issues which lie within the domain of our valid concerns.
The filter we use to define the relevance of Knowledge or awareness of that knowledge ( conscious inventory of concerns) determines how our feelings evolve. The topography of feelings then get influenced by our filter of what I can or not do without doing something about them.
Social inertia, individual silence and indifference, and dilemma with in a person's inner corridor of conscience determine the extent to which I feel responsible to take action.
ENTIRE mobilisational potential of social and personal action depends upon the way these two filers of knowledge to feeling and feeling to action work.
