寧靜的心跡(97) 運用邏輯思維

在面對衝突的時候，也許我們都有過忘記邏輯思維的經歷，那時情緒激動，因而思緒很混亂。平時我們都過得順遂無礙，但遇到問題湧現時，我們往往深陷於顧慮的泥潭，或者在情緒風暴中失去分寸，甚至走到崩潰的邊緣。

我們的情緒擅長評斷，偏愛二元思維，只關注事物的表面而忽視細節。當我們不知道如何解決問題的時候，心情就會大起大落，而這樣又會加重無助感，還會引起抑鬱。

放任情緒泛濫會扼殺意識，使我們錯誤地認為生命微不足道。當感性戰勝理性而佔據上風，空虛的感覺也會襲來，因為感性既不能紓緩情緒，也不能解決原有的問題，反而會引起一系列新問題。

如果長期忽視邏輯思維的訓練，遇到重大問題時我們將會面臨危險。有充分的理性，才能帶來全然的意識，讓生活變得簡單，也為我們的生命提供充份的保障。

每個生命都蘊含著無盡的奧秘。有足夠的意識，我們才能很好地體會它，並深刻地理解它。如果只是讚嘆它的存在而不了解它的本質，我們就會誤解它所蘊含的意義，也會錯過大自然透過它給予我們的啟示。

我們的本能是在生命的原始階段形成的，而它早已不能適應複雜的現代環境。而後來發展的情緒行為模式，已經是一大進步，但仍然不能依靠它去戰勝具有理性思維的生物。因此，為了適應這個理性的新世界，我們的意識不斷地演化。

唯有運用邏輯思維，我們的意識演進才能超越對手。擁有完整的意識，並不意味著與他人競爭資源，而是意味著攜手合作，共同創造一個更美好的新世界。

邏輯思維能使我們的情緒冷靜，頭腦變得明晰。而透過理性的思考，我們不僅能夠解決問題，更能獲得寧靜的心態，從而邁向更高的境界。

The path to Tranquility (97) Applying logical thinking

Perhaps we have all had the experience of forgetting to think logically in the face of conflict, when emotions are agitated and our thoughts are confused. Usually we live smoothly and without obstacles, but when problems arise, we are often trapped in the quagmire of worries, or lose our sense of proportion in emotional storms, and even go to the brink of collapse.

Our emotions excel at judgment, favoring binary thinking, and only focusing on the surface of things while neglecting the details. When we don't know how to solve a problem, our mood experiences ups and downs, which can intensifying feelings of helplessness and even leading to depression.

Allowing emotions to flood unchecked strangles consciousness, causing us to mistakenly believe that life is insignificant. When sensitivity triumphs over rationality and takes the upper hand, the feeling of emptiness will also strike, because sensibility can neither relieve emotions nor solve original problems, but will cause a series of new problems.

If we neglect training in logical thinking for an extended period, we will face danger when confronted with significant problems. Having sufficient rationality brings about complete consciousness, making life simpler, and providing ample protection for our life.

Every life contains endless mysteries. With enough consciousness, we can truly appreciate it and deeply understand it. If we only admire its existence without understanding its essence, we will misunderstand its meaning and miss the revelation that nature gives us through it.

Our instincts were formed during the primitive stages of life, have long been unable to adapt to the complex modern environment. The emotional behavior model developed later is already a great progress, but we still cannot rely on them to overcome the creatures with rational thinking. So, our consciousness is constantly evolving to adapt to this rational new world.

Only by applying logical thinking can our evolution of consciousness surpass adversaries. Possessing a complete consciousness does not mean competing for resources with others, but rather, it means joining hands and collaborating to create a better new world.

Logical thinking allows our emotions to calm down and our minds to become clear. Through rational thinking, we can not only solve problems but also achieve a tranquil state of mind, thus advancing to higher realms.
