more on logic.

we all intellectualise. it is how we create our reality. those who do it with reason and logic generally have a better time of things than those who try to prove tenuous points, or fall into thinking traps like.........who caused 9/11, or trends in global warming, etc.

i posted a little thing on reason and log because i wanted to shed light on the process we are involved in all the time. we are chattering away inside about things and trying to draw conclusions so that we can live our lives.

the problem comes when we become emotional about the situation and fall out of our ability to be reasonable. then our thinking processes become narrow and limited and short-term because we are more interested in stopping pain than dealing with what caused the pain in the first place.

we live in an afluent society in the west, surrounded by abundance and opportunity at every turn, yet people shuffle around looking at thier feet, caught up in mundane issues that have them trapped in loops of ineffectiveness.

most people can manage to shake themselves free of the loops but find themselves drawn into another one sooner or later.

logic and reason help to loosen the loops somewhat and allow us the ability to avoid them in the future.
