Without reason within society almost everything will fall apart. Humans will begin losing the parts of us that make us human. The ability to use our brains to predict the outcome of situations and actions is what allows us to be the most successful and smart living thing on earth. Using reason allows us to keep our human identity and also allows many other qualities to evolve.

A Principle To Keep
A principle that all of humanity needs to keep is reasoning behind your actions. Humans should always have a concrete reason behind their important actions. An example is killing someone for the sake of killing someone. If someone has a gun in his/her pocket and decides to shoot a person on the street for the hell of it that person has no place in modern society. When making large decisions whether it is to eat someone, kill someone, or even just making a large life decision each person should have reason in their actions.

'Reasoning' allows for people to do any number of things- many of them contrary to principled behavior.
ReplyDeleteReasoning is a great principle to have but like you said we'll all do things for a specific reason but in other peoples eyes what if that reason is wrong to them or seems invalid because of whatever reason they have to think that. Then it'll be a snowball affect from your reasoning all the way down to another persons reasoning thats contradicting or looking at your reasoning in a significantly different way. So everything you said was good but reasoning is one of those tricky things especially when reason gets opinionated like it can with the scenario of the person with the gun
ReplyDeleteI think that further than reasoning, to take actions as drastic as killing others, one must be doing it as an ultimate last result. I think that in our world today, oftentimes people use belief-based reasoning to justify extreme actions that they may take. As much as I wish that everyone had true and good reasons and intentions for their actions, the fact of the matter is that these principles are not enough to stop unnecessary violent actions.
