1 WEEK TO LIVE.......

If you found out you had just a week to live, how would you spend it?   You may find that you subconsciously begin to prioritize. Things that you deemed important may not seem so, anymore. Why? Maybe it's because you have been forced to realize  the home truth, life is indeed transient.

You do realize that there about 60- 90 trillion cells, 7 trillion nerves, 639 muscles, 206 bones, 23 organs and 10 pints of blood that make up the miracle, that is YOU. You are a divine work of art so do take some time to appreciate it. It could be a minute to offer a prayer as you wake. Giving a hug and a kiss to a loved one(s). Smiling at your reflection in the mirror. Or just looking up at the sky.

Never allow yourself, live under the illusion that you are indispensable. At best,you will be remembered, and your absence will be felt by those, who genuinely cared about you. Even they, will move on in time. Do not forget,  you cannot stop or turn back the hands of time. So, do what you can, LIVE EVERYDAY. Recognize each dawn for what it is, a gift......

WHAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF LOGIC?


Maybe  the question should be: what is logic?  The Merriam Webster dictionary defines logic as 
: a proper or reasonable way of thinking about or understanding something
: a particular way of thinking about something
: the science that studies the formal processes used in thinking and reasoning

In other wards, logic can be described as, reasonable thinking. To a large extent, majority of people consider themselves to be "REASONABLE". And why not? the term "REASONABLE", is  relative and stems from a sense perception.  So, what do you think  should happen when someone defy's logic? Should they  automatically be labelled "UNREASONABLE?" 

Maybe,  someone being "UNREASONABLE", is just a case of the heart overriding the brain? After all,  emotions can be very powerful. On the other hand, it can also be simple selfishness. Try not to lose  sleep and energy, trying to ascertain what is reasonable or not. Concentrate instead on finding a way to have your heart, and brain coexist in harmony.  You need both of them to survive.

By the way,the opposite of logic is unreasonableness.... just in case you were wondering...


...“When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.”

- Dale Carnegie
