Must we have empirical evidence to better understand human beings? I mean really, how in the Hell can this happen when there are so many variables and circumstances to consider? For example, let's say you want to measure the frequency with which your sons and daughters think about video games when they are not playing them. Let's say the choices in the survey are: a. 0-1 hours per day; b. 1-2 hours per day... and so on. We must first consider how many hours a day they actually play, what type of games they play more than others and why; and the list just keeps going on and on. Statistics are vital in understanding people patterns but they miss on so many other points.
The sun shines all around us and it comes from the inside of many spirits. These things cannot be empirically measured. LLc 98.2
