Some topics totally fascinate me, such as the way the human brain works and how it sometimes reasons in a definitely illogical way. As logic is supposed to involve a kind of reasoning that makes sense, that accepts certain truths, I believe that it should be an easy path to follow. But it isn't. It seems that logic is not the same for everyone. If I say that this color is blue and you say it's green, there is no way (neither for you nor for me) to convince the other. An even better illustration. Why do people tend to consider it a lie when they are told something they don't want to hear, they don't like, they refuse to accept? It's easier to close your ears and shut your eyes than to have the courage to face the reality of a particular situation. She doesn't love you, he has decided to take a different path, they believe something different from you.... They try to explain, but you are not ready do open your mind to accept the possibility that things might be different from what you thought they were, or from what you would like them to be. Is this arrogance? To a certain extent. I would rather call it close-mindedness, an incapacity to open up to a different perspective, to another point of view, to an unexpected turn of the events that you never fathomed.
Is this another example of "I am right and you are wrong" ?
