Rationality

Dear Director:

I recently watched an excellent film about the life of Margaret Thatcher, and what struck me the most was a comment she made regarding the current times, where people are more concerned about how you feel or how you are doing, and little to nothing about the ideas and thoughts one may have. She, as a skilled politician, acknowledged the importance of connecting with people, but at the same time admitted that it is ideas and thoughts that drive and develop the world we live in. Perhaps it is time for emotions not to dominate everything, and for rationality to reclaim its place.
