If you believe people use reason for the important decisions in life, you will go through life feeling confused and frustrated that others seem to have bad reasoning skills.

(0 Reviews)

In Scott Adams' book, "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big," he explores the idea that many people do not rely on logical reasoning when making significant decisions. Instead of using reason as a guiding principle, individuals often base their choices on emotions or other irrational factors. This disconnect can lead to feelings of confusion and frustration for those who expect others to think rationally.

Adams argues that if one assumes that logical reasoning is the primary driver of human decision-making, they may struggle to understand the choices that others make. This belief can create a sense of disillusionment, as many people appear to lack the reasoning skills one might expect. The author suggests that recognizing this difference can help alleviate some of the frustration in interpersonal interactions.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
