Actually, I tend to separate feeling and knowing. Some times I know something is right (because I rationalized the rightness vs wrongness of it) however I feel like doing something different. Some times I hear something or see something and I think "right on" even though I haven't rationalized for my self the rightness of the thing. It just seems right. But I still wouldn't call it a feeling. I think it matches something in side me, maybe a principle, but I still wouldn't call it a feeling. I do feel good, or conflicted, or bad sometimes when thinking about rightness and wrongness but I wouldn't usually say that I feel something is right or wrong. The word feel gets a little over used these days. It first occurred to me when I went to an encounter group in the 70's. The counselor looked at the clock, which was on 10:00 pm and she stated, "I feel like its 10:00. Should we all get ready to go home?" What does 10 o'clock feel like, was my question? Everybody ignored me; better than a new nose job I guess.
