One thing that people don't tend to know is that our senses can are pathos, ethos, and logos a well the rest of our bodies. This can make a lot of sense if you just think about it. Sound is our most logical, or logos, sense. If we here something that sounds logical an/or true, it is much easier for us to blindly believe it. An example of this can be the thousands of religions now and in the past. People need and needed a simple answer that could answer all of life's issues and will usually choose whichever one sounds the best to them. Smell, taste, and touch are all purely emotional, or pathos. When you eat a really good piece of fruit, you enjoy it. You can't eat a fruit and have it taste 'logical'. We eat things to give us joy. Same with touch. Would you rather touch a slimy dirty dish or a puppy? Obviously you would choose the dog because it sounds more fun and appealing. And lastly, sight is both ethos and pathos, but slightly more pathos. This is because we are basically trained to judge things and a bid part of judging is by examining someone's personal appearance and to assume their status as a person. This would be our automatic ethos setting in, but even with that at play, our emotions can usually get the better of us. Would you rather talk to this petty woman or feed a homeless man? Let's hope you said homeless man.
