Applying Logic To Emotions?
It is said that "Applying logic to emotions causes conflict. Logic is rules, regulations, standards, using past experiences and taking into consideration present circumstances to come up with solutions. Emotions is love, hate, anger, anxiety, happiness, joy, kindness, gratitude, everything that classifies you not being a robot.
The words came into my head " you cannot apply logic to emotions". I think back to the terrorist attack on Brussels Airport and Maalbeek Metro Station on the 22nd of March 2016. The two brothers who went into an airport carrying explosives knew very well what they were doing. They knew very well that today is the day we leave this world and take as many human beings with us as possible.
Now you probably wondering what's the relation between the statement "you cannot apply logic to emotions"' and an Airport and train station in Belgium.
Logic would tell us that what these people did goes against every law, moral stance and everything else that we use as a bouncing board for what ever we judge. Within the culture I grew up in as being an average black South African kid from the township, these guys are going to put on a man size kebab stick and the devil is gonna be sipping on some codeine while roasting these homies.
Emotions would first ask why?
Why?
I mean these guys are also going to die in the explosion so who's gonna celebrate the success of bombing the airport?
Who's going to live and tell the tale of : " How we blew up an airport and a train station.....at the same damn time ...ππππͺ and got away with it.....yeah and a couple of other people died also... Bonus points for the kids and the babies "
You see war is much mental than physical. Bloodshed is just an added extra that comes with war. The real battle is in the minds of the generals. It's a mental chess game that is being played over WiFi fam. And none of us have the wifi password.
I cannot really tell you why these men do some of the things that they do which is something you where hoping that you'd hear me say....lol....but I draw one analogy from terrorism in Belgium and the statement I said earlier on.
You cannot apply logic to emotions in the same way you cannot apply logic to why people do some of the things they choose to do. I can compare it to something as hardcore as Brussels or I can break it down to why we always hurting each other in all aspects of our lives.
The war that is going on between countries is not so different from the wars that you have with the outside world and your own conscious.
You forever at conflict with your self. You leave trails of your insecurities and regrets, pass misjudgements and battle scars everywhere you go without noticing because you at war with yourself. You forever having arguments with yourself on what classifies "acceptable". You cause pain for those who care for you. It's painful for them to see you like that. You treat people like shit around you leaving victims of your harsh words scattered all around.
You do not notice because you at war with yourself and no amount of logic will help solve the problem because the problem is your emotions.
Logic can never effectively solve issues that burn within us. That's why there will always be another bombing in another country killing more innocent lives. The solution?...........I don't know.... I write about these things so you can tell me.
