Don’t Mess Around With Wrong Reasoning.

Reasoning is more complicated than it seems at first glance. It is not merely an intellectual pursuit but a way of life that includes logic, belief, ethics, and emotion. Roughly speaking ‘reasoning’ is the process of providing statement in support of other statements. So if a statement is a sentence that is intended to be evaluated in terms of truth and falsity, a supporting statement is called a premise and a supported statement is called a conclusion.

Most of our significant choices and actions are guided by our reasoning. Hence, the better our reasoning, the more successful these choices and actions are likely to be. Reason is the cause or an explanation for something that has happened or for something that somebody has done. Reasons have always existed, but not always in a reasonable form. Some learned people say reasons are pillars of the mind but how many give it a serious thought to choose the right reasoning. We use reasoning skills on a daily basis, when we are self-reflective, when we analyze situations and when we process information. There are times we use reasoning skills when we recognize loaded language in arguments or attempts to misrepresent information or even when we respond to counterarguments.

People generally consider they already have some degree of reasoning competence, but you can always review how to improve upon them. To begin with seek out to others perspectives and remember the other person’s perspective. Reduce your activity of jumping to conclusions. Keep openings for other possibilities they may be better than yours. Our Perceptions, opinions, meta, predictions can habitually be self-questioned as to why to believe in them.

Poor reasoning is about limited attention for most; a state of information overload and it shows in the way they think. When many stimuli are bombarding us at any given moment it is impossible to process them all and thus unable to make rational decisions. To avoid this mental trap take a break every once a while. It is difficult to avoid the temptation of instant gratification, but taking time for yourself will accept you to make better decisions in the long run.

A few reasons many mess around with;

There is no reason to be the richest man in the cemetery; you cannot do any business from there.

The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work.

For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth.

Politics isn’t just a game of clashing parties and competitive interests. Finding reasons to disagree is no credentials, however making the right corrective measures to serve the common good and leave this nation better than we found it is better reasons.

Some men have hundred reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can.

Need to convince the current generation their choices and actions are guided by reasoning and a new understanding of mental process, can better design the world around, which is largely falling short of better reasoning.

Wandering and roaming around, I met the Holy Perfect Guru, who has taught me. All other devices did not work, so I meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

For this reason, I sought the Protection and Support of my Lord, the Cherisher of the Universe. SGGS676
