Rationality and Irrationality – Making Sense of what doesn’t make Sense

: ( @@@ : )

By the way, the art of making up words (10% of words in my vocab are of my own coining, when people get to know me they also get to learn new words, sometimes we discover quirky things in our lives and it’s more humanitarian if you name those things so that you can use them casually in conversation with others who may not know) is called vocabularizing.

; ) ??? ; (

In vocabularizing what you basically do is make up words and definitions for things that either a) you don’t know the actual word for, b) there isn’t a word for it, or c) there is a word for it but it doesn’t exist in the tense that you’d like it to so you use a prefix or sufix from another existing word that does exist to make it have the tense you want.

Back to rationalitay, or lack thereof.

You may have already heard the thing about how if the earth were just a bit further away or a bit closer to the sun that life on earth would not be able to exist. You may also know that when a dart player throws a dart, that it is fractions of a millimeters difference between whether he hits the bullseye or not (triple 20 is good too but bullseye is more poetic), the further he is away from the board, the more accurate he needs to be with his throw. Your life is similar, if you’re being inaccurate in your being, you may not be able to notice the effect this is having in a week, or a month, but the more inaccurate you are being, the further off target your dart will be when it lands, say, in 10 years from now. You see the closer you are to the board, the less those fractions of a mm are gonna make much difference, but when you’re very far away, they add up to quite a lot over the space of the distance they travel.

The human body has many rational things about it that are quite astonishing in their complexity and beauty, but at the same time there are many irrational things about it as well. This is because it is in the nature of the Universe to be part rational, part irrational. And so if in your daily life you are being overly rational, you are imbalanced, and if you can’t think about the irrational side of life without getting frustrated, it may be that you weren’t as conscious as you could have been in regards to this delicate subject matter. Be like the Earth in your rationality and irattionality, not so much of one, and not too much of the other, aim to strike a balance between the 2, and learn to accept the irrational side of life. Like the dart players throw naturally micro-adjusts, provided his eyes can see how close or far away he was from what he wants to achieve, you too will adjust.
