Rational or Irrational

Naturally, during certain circumstances, we tend to solve our problem rationally. The consequences of the problem will be weighted prior any action taken toward it.

In term of relationship, some people may weight from A-Z before they opt for theirs’ life partner. For instant; range of salary, education level, outlook, personality and etc. Certainly, this is a logical thinking because water and bread are more essential than love.

Whereas, for some people, they will never measure what theirs’ other half really have. A person who falls into this category may think that love is more important than anything else. Obviously, some may think this is irrational.

Samantha Jones in the series of Sex and the City; while she was in loved with one of the richest men- Richard in New York; she was irrational to agree with Richard to have a 3 sum (3 people in a bed) during Richard’s birthday. After she found out that Richard cheated on her, she was rational to end the relationship by told straight to Richard’s face: “Look, Richard, I love you but I love myself more!” Despite, Richard did not cheat on her again and in love with her.

If a person is too rational, he /she may misses out something that is important to them. In contrast; if irrational, wrong action/ judgment may be taken place.

To be rational OR irrational?
