Reason, cont.
Why does reason exist?
It is inborn, a gift, part of who we are. Reason reaches out from within. Reason is part of how we understand and how we conclude, how we perpetuate them both.
Reason is not logic.
We are not born with logic.
We create logic, each to his own. Logic is an individual’s tone, his rhetoric, his conduct. Logic is a product of the individual serving to preserve and enhance its bearer. Anomalies occur, but they are flukes of association that feign the appearance of intention. As such, logic says that it is the prescription to situation and environment and the key to solving. In doing so, it shows great blindness. Logic, while necessary for a time or season, is cold. Yet, this is what we strive for. Ourselves. Not others. Pulling in. Not reaching out. Not understanding. Not why. Because logic says that it already knows and that it doesn’t need to understand, or that it is understanding. And to us, this is comfort and absolute.
