I think that people make the leap because it is comforting. But I don't think that makes it true. You believe it because you want to believe it. What Pankratz calls faith. But that doesn't make it true. I think it is in some ways actually more dangerous, because we settle for things that are not the best or justify things by saying things like, "it was destiny," or, "it was God's will." Personally, I think those are copouts. As avacado has pointed out, logically, they just don't work unless you really want them to. <BR/><BR/>But whatever you like. If it works for you, keep it up. but for me, it just doesn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24875972.post-40251635879666740182007-06-12T00:00:00.000-04:002007-06-12T00:00:00.000-04:00Isn't the "leap of logic" called faith?

If you don't, you run the dual risk of being just plain wrong or of being dissatisfied with your choice.<BR/><BR/>So it involves a leap of logic, but it's a lot more comforting. And that's important.Jeremy Mastenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00502605705151894028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24875972.post-23587061269238107492007-06-11T18:43:00.000-04:002007-06-11T18:43:00.000-04:00Oh, I definitely agree that it requires a little l...Oh, I definitely agree that it requires a little leap of logic - but I like it that way :)ALVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03320895288169596654noreply@blogger.com
