Then how should we react?

I hope you weren’t sensing contempt from me. It wasn’t your belief that surprised me so much as how boldly you expressed it.

In every problem, we find those who underestimate its significance and regard the high engrossment of people into it, as a form of exaggeration. We also find those who indeed react in excess revealing upon people the sense that there is no worse calamity that might happen than this. Moreover, and to avoid simplicity, we also find those who interact in a balanced logical way. But, how can we measure the degree of severity of a situation for us to categorize their reactions? Don’t we react with things based on our former knowledge? In addition, we all believe that our reading of aspects differ due to our internal schema.

So what’s the matter?

The issue that everyone looks at a problem from his perspective and adamantly holds on his interpretation, and thinks that his interaction with it apropos. I actually think, that we as humans share a common logic or what people may call common sense, but I preferred the latter name for we in most cases agree upon certain logical statements and from it we can carry on analyzing aspects. One may find this to push the balance for the logicians but I may then use Kantian way of dealing with the matter. We can all agree a priori on morals to deal with certain aspects. No experience should be put forward in the analysis for this will mar the original background which we all could agree on, but as we involve experience, things start to detach from the objective realm and start to crawl into the subjective one.

Since I was dealing with situations that we face daily, I would think that the best thing is to expose yourself to the numerous thoughts found in the thought pool, and your brain will lean towards what it may find sound. Yes, this will also be affected by our internal schema and for sure we will like what suits our former understandings, but that is not a problem. IF we have endeavored to create for ourselves a good brain that deals with things objectively, and we had trained our mind to detach personal benefits from such issues, then for sure our subconscious inclinations will be a thoughtful one rather than an impetuous undirected one.
