To live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in suffering, so said Nietzsche, but that is hardly all. To live is also to dream of pleasure and to find it.

Claiming reason as the solution to social ills misses the point that often facts and arguments only improve conditions when they persuade and prompt action. Persuasion requires emotions and feelings as the critical negotiators.
