I would like to believe that there is some logic in life, but as events unfold this belief seems to become weaker and weaker. I would not consider myself to be a romantic or an optimist, rather I tend towards the domain of being a realist and a pessimist. And being a realist I have always tried to look for a sequence of cause and effect relationship in my life and events around me. However, I have to admit I have failed. Life and logic, both these concepts are too complicated for me to understand. But in my own small way, I am making an attempt to understand both. Being a student of economics, I have always heard of the rational man, who attempts to optimize given his constraints. Of course, the truth can not be further than this. There is no rational logic in falling in love, in making friends, in staring at a beautiful flower when there are more pressing issues to take care of, in killing people, in spending millions of dollars to make nuclear weapons. However, many people might argue that people who indulge in these activities have a clear, logical idea as to why they are doing this. I agree...but isn't it also true that there is no way one can determine if the logic one uses is flawed or not.
I am not here to be subjective about one's logic or my own. But the question that really needs to be examined is that does life have a logic or life itself becomes logic?

Hello I like your blog. Will you be my friend?
i like your logic :D
"The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of." :)) Me to like your logic... keep it coming!
acc. to me some of the most sublime thins on earth are accomplished by passion rather than logic..and both(logic&passion) are in a way antagonist.. i bet mother theresa saw no logic in dedicating her life in upliftment of ppl who could not help her back in return.. neither would have Vincent van Gough seen any logic in dedicating his life to the art which ultimately lead to his miserable demice as a popper...
and as you mentioned most of freindships are at best illogical or impractical to a third person (n i bet my bottom dollar those kinda frnshps tend to have a btr chance of lasting)
in conclusion i wud sat that LOGIC & RESN ARE ESSENTIAL FOR NORMAL LIFES FUNCTIONING WHILE PASSION IS DEEMED NECESSARY FOR ENJOYING LIFE THAT U HAVE SO PAINSTAKINGLY CONSTRUCTED WITH LOGIC
the trick is to find the ideal balance between those two.... if u do that my frn uve hit the jackpot ;-)
