the tyranny of 'feelings'

I hold as a personal code of conduct (which has arisen in me as a result of personal experience and observation of the world) that when someone repeatedly uses the word "feel" or "feelings" more than normal conversation would require, I grow suspicious. It has been my experience that when somebody focuses the majority of their communication on "feelings," it is to mask and/or justify improper or unjust behavior.
This is how I begin a recent post on my philosophy blog. Click here to read the rest. I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Your thoughts?

When you type quote marks around, and capitalize, the word feelings, I thought you were speaking of the awful song "Feelings," by Morris Albert. lol
