Furthermore, @ larue 's cost benefit analysis approach is a rational take on relationships. However, humans are not rational creatures. Our reasoning processes are always muddled by emotions and moods and rather susceptible to bias.
Humans are not rational. I do feel that we are more of 'rationalising'.
We tend to try to justify the reason for our actions with what we perceive as 'sound' logic. It usually done post-action.
So, I would argue that by being 'ultra-realistic', we cannot always have a full grasp of rational thinking. Even more so for relationships. Unless, you are one of those enlightened/actualised people. But then again, a person of such spiritual (or whatever you call it) cultivation, would be detached from worldy things.
Thank you everyone for the input. |
Yes humans tend to rationalise before doing something irrational or after something has happened. We have a natural mechanism to feel good no matter what happens. That’s why intelligent people are always sad because they have the ability to see things as it is. As humans we are meant to be emotional and full of life. That’s what makes living interesting.
