make their specific songs for their reasons throughout the development of music,
from organum, aria, and recitative, to pop, rock, and electronic music. Michael
Jacksons Heal The World talks about people suffering and helping them to make

We can look at History: WWII and Hitler. Primary knowledge is the number of deaths
(50 million) during WWII. Then you get into a deeper understanding on WWIIs direct
and indirect impacts towards today, some with positive outcome, for example the
military medicine during WWII was marked as advances in triage and transport,
management of shock, and treatment of infectious diseases. Another way is that
when one experience war, or at least murder, s/he has the experience, the
knowledge, of being involved in it. However the impacts of WWII are typically
negative, which is where emotion of sorrow, guilt, pity, empathy and sympathy
about the war.
In Natural Science, you have biology, chemistry and physics. These three are all
data, like mathematics. Interestingly, biology, for example when you are
experimenting on rats, you would feel pity for them enduring and suffering during
the experiments. Although this is more on ethics, evidence of emotion is involved in
it.
Human science is quite tricky, as it involves and excludes emotion at the same time.
Psychology is studying the complexity of the human mind, its behavior, its use of

So looking at Pascals quote, I partially agree to it. If the truth is based on science
and mathematics, where solid evidence like Newtons third law, Albert Einsteins
atomic energy, the discovery of DNA, trigonometry, etc. makes very much sense to
us, emotion is of no use. But when it comes to the Arts and Literature, where we
express ourselves, create a voice of self-identity or message, strong emotion pours
in and transmits to us witnessing it.
