They are not the fruit of logical analysis and can not be fully embodied in a verbal statement. Such insights are not fundamentally dependent upon immediate sensory data from sight, sound, taste, touch, or smell; yet they are often based upon an immediate sense about what is happening and might happen in human relationships. Such affective perceptions and understandings have to do with actual and possible meanings of how people behave, feel, and think in relating to each other. These perceptions and understandings are inherently self-referential in the sense that they are of great import to self. Objectivity is logically impossible with regard to affective perceptions and understandings. How we feel plays an important role in intuitive affective perceptions and understanding. If we avoid having feelings---we are unlikely to have profound affective perceptions and understanding, and are unlikely to respect those of other people---except when insights have been rationalized into intellectually defensible propositions which are grounded in empirical evidence coherently tied together by careful logic. If we are not free to acknowledge our emotions and emotional needs, we can not be enriched by affective perceptions or understandings. Most people's decisions and actions flow from their intuitive affective perceptions and understanding, not from their intellectual analysis. Affective perceptions and understandings can be misled, faulty and unwise; as can intellectual analysis and understandings. None are guaranteed to be free of bias. Bias is best avoided by deliberate efforts to balance various modalities of perception and understanding with each other. Many people are victims of inhibitions of intuitive affective perceptions and understanding. Because of collusions and taboos learned in childhood, or in adulthood, they fear the consequences of permitting intuitive affective perceptions and understanding to rise to the level of conscious and verbal thought. They tend to content themselves with improving the levels of sophistication of their intellectual processes as regards logical and quantitative reasoning focused upon improving technologies.
