Your So Unreasonable

Unreasonable so often really means you don't agree with me. Unreasonable usually means I think you are wrong because you don't think like me. Unreasonable and irrational are used to make us feel like our way of thinking is less valid then somebody else's. The truth is that everyone is reasonable, everybody has reasons for thinking the way they do, from the maddest to the sanest. The only difference is some of us have more socially acceptable reasons then others. Reason and rationality are simply words that get used to try and persuade others to accept what is being claimed is the 'reasonable' opinion. If we don't agree with them who claim they are the reasonable then we are the mad. But if society has gone mad itself then does it mean that the unreasonable ones are the sanest?

Very thought provoking. I particularly like your provocative (?) incorrect use of 'your' in the title.

@Nom thanks, I could pretend that it was intentional but it would be a lie.

@thefrozensea I thought not :)
