wherever I look I see rational thought. In my own way of thinking, in story books, on TV, in everything other people have to say. Even when people show faith in God (an otherwise irrational behaviour) each of them has a rational basis for believing in God, there is a thought pyramid (with layers of logic on top of each other, or a chain of logic) in their head.
I don't mean that all thought is universally rational. I only mean that in the head of the person thinking, there is a thought pyramid (chain of logic), whether it is objectively valid or not or whether other people agree or not.
I am a bit uncomfortable with basing all thought on rationality. This is because if you observe yourself you see that parts of the thought pyramid or chain of logic change over time. Which then rationally (ironically) leads us to the question -- “what is the significance of any conclusion that I come to?” (If the basis for that conclusion keeps changing over time)
Why is this the only way we are able to think? Why is the force of rationality so strong?
