Mind over heart

Being sick the past few days has given me the opportunity to catch up on my reading. Who would've thought that i'd stumble on such a beautiful idea (that i so agree on!) in Eldest by Paolini? "... being a decent person is no guarantee that you will act well, which brings us back to the one protection we have against our demagogues, tricksters, and the madness of crowds, and our surest guide through the uncertain shoals of life: clear and reasonable thinking. Logic will never fail you, unless you're unaware of --or deliberately ignore--the consequences of your deeds..." This is why I like being logical...
