We defeat emotions with logic, or at least that's the idea. Logic is questions and statements. With enough of them, we get to root causes {which are always easier to deal with}.
In the book "The Obstacle Is the Way," Ryan Holiday discusses the idea that we can overcome our emotions through the application of logic. By posing questions and making statements, we can delve deeper into our feelings and identify their underlying causes. This method suggests that when we understand the root of our emotional responses, we can handle them more effectively.
Holiday emphasizes that logic serves as a tool to dismantle emotional barriers. By dissecting our thoughts and feelings logically, we gain clarity, making it easier to confront challenges and turn adversity into advantage. Ultimately, this approach encourages a more rational and constructive response to life's difficulties.
