Rather than bore you with yet another review of “V for Vendetta,” I instead ask a question. In one of the many commentaries discussing the Wachoski Brothers’ new film, a reviewer wrote “V for Vendetta … has no trouble getting people to think, but it’s far less successful at getting them to feel.” Regardless of whether you’ve seen the movie and your feelings about it, isn’t thinking quite often more important than feeling, particularly in the areas of life, freedom, and the protection of both?
Whatever. I shall think.

Though thinking produces concepts and ideas, feeling induces the will to execute these willingly. While fundamentally we are egoists in our actions, our lives can be driven by what we feel is morally correct, not necessarily what we think is so. But thought is required in order to develop the morality we follow
Martyrs die more often than not for something they feel to be a cause worth dying for, not something that they think could theoretically be correct.
I dont believe we can differentiate between the importance of thought and feeling, as they are isolated in their importance, and feed off each-other more often than not
