<p>Is it better for people to act on their feelings than talk about them? (written as it was kinda sucks) what would I get?</p>

<p>Through a myriad types of media and communication forms, people love to express their feelings. To a few people, people who talk about their feelings are wasting their feeling and being unproductive. These people believe that the people should be acting on their feelings rather than talking about them because acting on their sentiments brings results. However, their argument is misguided. When people talk they make rationale choices and have better insight of their feelings. They tend to make better choices when they talk and do not solely act by the force of their feelings. This argument is clearly portrayed by the paradigms Ordinary Man and Dead Poets Society.</p>

<p>First of all, when one talks about his or her feelings, it seems to have a therapeutic effect. For instance, the the autobiography, Ordinary Man, by Paul Rusesabagina, the author describes the Rwanda genocide and the reasons why so many people were killed. Rusesabagina describes how there were two groups in Rwanda, the Hutu and the Tutsis. After years of oppressing the Hutus, the Tutsis lost power. The Hutu rose to power and promised to destroy the Tutsis because of the Tutusis' treatment of them in the past. Led by anger and revenge, Hutus slaughtered the Tutsis. They were acting on their feelings. However, Rusesbagina was a hotel manager who helped keep the Tutsis and moderate Hutus safe. He did this by nonviolence. When Generals came to slaughter Tutsus, he would talk to them, and get to the core of the general's reasons for killing. The general now thinking spared the Tutsis and left.</p>

<p>In addition, when one talk's about his or her feeling, it seems to provide a better outcome. In Dead Poets Society, Neil, the main character, loves his passion for acting but his father wants him to be a doctor. Never talking about his passion, nEil succumbs to his father and eventually commits suicide. If he talked instead of acting on his feelings, he would have been alive and probably happy as well.</p>

<p>Therefore, talking in many situation is more beneficial.</p>
