It feels like you are making a logic knot only for yourself so you then can solve it? I am sure there is something you can gain from understanding that, what is meant here. But I don't follow your semantic reasoning, I mean.. What is put up is that, when your feelings say one thing, but your brain knows another way, and it's related to safety, you shouldn't follow your feelings. It's ofc extremely generalised advice but from an old man, trust me it's truer than you think. Listen to your brain if it tells you something is dangerous, even if your heart says woohoo. Just in general, that's super solid advice
