Reason proceeds from logic whereas belief proceeds from faith. But what is the reason in being reasonable? One may answer it by saying: “The reason of being reasonable is that being reasonable is itself reasonable”. But this won’t be an answer, let alone an explanation, because what it does is presuppose the very idea before explaining it, that is, it is at best, an assumption that over time became a definition. But whichever way I use to prove, either way I only use reason to do so & thus am contradicting myself. Even every proof inculcates in it the faith in the beliefs that corresponds to the initial assumptions & the flow of events after that which are considered to be causal when in reality nothing is causal. This is so as no one has gone to the future & verified whether the effect always follows the cause, we only know that it has always followed but we cannot say for sure that it will except for the probability that it may. Thus, every proof makes that which it proves probable & nothing more. It is upto the thing to be what it is & to become what it will though in the actuality of things, there is nothing else to become except of what we, men/women of reason make of it. In Quantum Mechanics, this fallibility of Causality has been vital with such experiments as the modified double slit where the effect occurred before the cause indicating once again that things are not causal. If any thing, they are what they are & that is self-consistent. A point to be noted here is that anything is possible but not probable in the future as probability is again based on our faith in it. Possibilities, as always are endless, but probabilities are constricted to the kind of logic one adheres to. Regards, wM. PS. That which is 100% illogical cannot be proved to be "100% illogical" coz by being able to prove so, will mean that it is not "100%" illogical, as it is then " 100 - "the logic to prove that its illogical" " % illogical.... that which is illogical is so only by the virue of itself, that is without proof or logic, - its is just so!!! |
