Depends on how big one's picture is, so it's definitely trump-able. Great call on incorporating instincts. Whether derived from nature or nurture, short-term and long-term instinctual inclinations likely play a large intuitive role in a lot of reactions.

Sure, but while family and friends may reserve special situations, many times the fear of loss for oneself facilitates their actions, whereas love can be taken for granted endlessly.

"Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae." - Kurt Vonnegut

"People react to fear, not love - they don't teach that in Sunday School but it's true." - Leonardo da Vinci

"It is better to have your head in the clouds and know where you are... than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise." - Henry David Thoreau

"One day you'll leave this world behind, so live a life you will remember." - Avicii (Tim Bergling)

"Thinking is one thing no one has ever been able to tax." - Charles Kettering

"Introspection, or 'sitting in silence,' is an unscientific way of trying to force apart the mind and senses, tied together by the life force. The contemplative mind attempting its return to divinity is constantly dragged back toward the senses by the life currents." - Yogananda

"Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory." - Leonardo da Vinci

"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone." - Blaise Pascal

"...I've heard
From the guts, fuck the glory
Just a person on a porch putting it all into recording
Many in my past and many that came before me
I just keep walkin' my path and blessed to share my story."
