Meaning

The Feeler is symbol about understanding the human. It is accepted today that feelings like anger, hatred, animosity, love have biochemical representations in the brain. The Feeler symbol of Üsküdar University represents activating nice feelings and maintaining good feelings instead of malicious ones. Those who can generate awareness about feelings are the lucky ones who can feel "The Feeler" and the life alike. The Feeler is the representative of human values which remind the importance of considering, helping others, getting help from others, sharing feelings in order to be happy.[1]

gollark: Pretty much everything we actually produce is in the "not entirely necessary but nice to have" box.
gollark: There is lots of stuff which nobody really *needs* - you can live without it, society could work without it (if we had set stuff up that way) - but it's not very nice to not have it. Like computers, or modern medicine, or non-bare-minimum food and housing.
gollark: Food is, broadly speaking, necessary to live. But while I could probably *survive* on cheaper, less resource-intensive-to-produce food than I do, or less food by caloric content and stuff, I like to have more/better food than is strictly necessary. Same with water - I won't die of dehydration on some small amount per day, but on the whole I'll be worse off if I don't have as much to drink as I want, or enough water for showering and washing stuff.
gollark: I'm typing.
gollark: You totally did.
