Stop Saying ‘I Feel Like’

Pretending that every argument you make is just a hunch you have is self-destructive.

We should not “feel like.” We should argue rationally, feel deeply and take full responsibility for our interaction with the world."

Let us find out.   
Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.
