But then, you have various times he emphasizes emotional attachment. One pasuk (I can't recall which) talks about rejoicing with one's wife; another, (11:9), "שְׂמַ֧ח בָּח֣וּר בְּיַלְדוּתֶ֗יךָ וִֽיטִֽיבְךָ֤ לִבְּךָ֙ בִּימֵ֣י בְחֽוּרוֹתֶ֔יךָ וְהַלֵּךְ֙ בְּדַרְכֵ֣י לִבְּךָ֔ וּבְמַרְאֵ֖י עֵינֶ֑יךָ וְדָ֕ע כִּ֧י עַל־כָּל־אֵ֛לֶּה יְבִֽיאֲךָ֥ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֖ים בַּמִּשְׁפָּֽט<br />, emphasizing (as I see it) both the importance of emotional life, as well as yirat shamayim.<br />Then in the end of the twelth perek, you have "asot sfarim harbei ein keitz", followed by the emphasis on yirat Haelokim.<br /><br />I thought that was the direction you took in your post-- I tried the intellectual, but haveil havalim, it's all re'ut ruach.
