depends on the mood I am in. Today I am tired and Grumpy.... So emotions play over Logic.



Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

I'm married, so I'm not allowed to make decisions.



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

I think emotions dictate a person's logic

We're all just a ball of chemical changes anyway


Case in point, the soldier in Faluja that decided to have his finger severed as opposed to having his wedding band cut (they lost his ring anyway )

Yes, you are right. But we all have those moments when gut feeling says something and logic says otherwise.

THAT is a very good point, but I think you might be confusing logic with popular opinion. Popular opinion changes with time, why would logic? I think the force that people find that their gut argues is the fear of not fitting into popular opinion.

Popular opnion is the result of logic of the avarage person. I donīt think we can count on that. Personal logic is based on personal experience and it is way better than popular opnion. I just donīt know if it is better than emotions/gut feeling. Since in so many times we make decisions based only in faith or pure innocence and everything works out perfectly. Go figure.

I agree with most of this, but the breakdown for me is that I don't beleive there is such a thing as 'personal logic'

Of course there is. When you are making some decisions you need facts and thoughts that is available only for you. Maybe if you ask what color something is then personal logic is equal to popular logic. But if it is a more complex subject, like marriage, that includes many variables, only you have all the facts. So personal logic differs from popular logic.

IMO

Of course there is. It's how each person interprets things for themselves. What's logical to you is not necessarily logical to me.

I don't beleive anything is available to only me. I dont' beleive any decision can be made without outside influence. I guess I'm saying that every decision we make is a result of indirect and direct forms of conditionings that come from many different angles. We are who we are, and we've become who we are by walking down a path of chemical changes that we sub-conscienciouisly file and categorize.

I beleive the majority of our brain power is utilized by the sub-conscience 'simplifying' everything that we expirience. And this simplification is the indirect cause of most of the troubles that humanity has been un able to successfully over come through out our existance (racism, greed, ect)

Some people go their entire life thinking blue is purple or orange is red.

How can one develop an opinion with a standard to base it upon.

You can't physically grab an object without either holding onto something else, or standing on something. Why should it be different mentally?

I'm just talking out my behind though

I spend too much time thinking about stupid stuff

Regardless of our opinions, the point is to live your life to the fullest and enjoy every single m'f'n minute of it

V is trying to decide if he should follow a logical thought process or follow his emotions ... Go with your gut my friend. Logic will cause you to think too much and you will lose her!

Well yea, our logic differs on this. But how did each of us develop our logic?

This is exactly why this thread started. I thought nobody would notice it.

Somethings are available only for you. Personal experience is what dictates how your logic will be. How your thinking process is. That is why if you go to a prison and talk to the inmates you will see that most of them can come up with a solid and logic explanation for their acts. They are all innocent.
You are right though about our brains simplifying too much everything.
