Thought of the Day - Assumptions and Justifications
Why do we do the things we do? We always have reasons but these don't, on close inspection, make much sense. We pretend to be intellectual, yet in essence we are creatures of instinct and impulse. We act on our feelings, and then we think up clever justifications for them. We should not fool ourselves that we have all the answers. We don't even have all the questions! We tend to act on a series of assumptions, some of which need to be challenged.
