i don't think intuition is always right! if intuition is always right, it means that the human brain operates perfectly. however, we now know that the human brain is far from perfect, as it is capable of illusions & delusions of all kinds.
in order to support the claim that intuition is always right, we need to clearly define intuition, which usually leads to vague & generic words such as "feeling" & "soul" -- words that can mean just about anything! so it's foolish to say intuition is always right when we can't even define what it is.
for some people, questioning intuition may seem strange or even absurd, which brings us to another point: should we view everything that arises from within as good descriptions of reality? i don't think so!
the irony of this post is that i do think intuitive information is helpful. however, i do try to process & filter such information through logic & reason. in my view, both, logic & intuition, combined and properly working together, are necessary aspects of being human.
why choose between logic & intuition when you can have both? as a human being, you are multifaceted and have many senses & many capabilities--so use them all!
