---

People sometimes say that you must believe in feelings deep inside,
otherwise, you' d never be confident of things like "My wife loves me." But
this is a bad argument. There can be plenty of evidence that somebody loves
you. All through the day when you are with somebody who loves you, you see
and hear lots of little titbits of evidence, and they all add up. It isn't a
purely inside feeling, like the feeling that priests call revelation. There
are outside things to back up the inside feeling: looks in the eye, tender
notes in the voice, little favors and kindnesses; this is all real evidence.
