Logic enhanced with common sense

Here we reach the last step in the process.

No matter how much respect I have for the human faculty of logic—I do not have the expertise to teach logic as a subject.

There are plenty of free logic courses online if you are interested.

What I would like to offer is how our previous steps will now enhance our faculties of reasoning.

The limitations of logic

There are many examples of false logic. There are no examples of false common sense.”

^{The Stratagem Philosophical Society}

Having considered your situation from several vantage points will give you a common-sense basis to consider what the logical steps are that need taking.

Your day to day routine is one thing but—if it is keeping your stuck in a life that offers little challenge or meaning—you may need to risk some disruptions that may not look logical at first—while you work towards a better system.

Some considerations that are relevant to a better home life.

• Are you able to be yourself, or are you always working to please the people around you?
• Do you even know what being yourself means?
• Are you making decisions based on what is right for you, or are you leaning on poor substitutes for love and respect?
• What are the first steps you should take to move forward?

Instead of asking the people around you to change and fit in with your plans—perhaps you can inform them of your decisions.

For instance, if someone you live with is insulting you—asking them to change is probably not going to help. Instead, you may let this person know that if you find their language or tone offensive in future—from now on you will be removing yourself from their presence.

If you live with someone who uses anger and intimidation to control you—you will probably need further back up and support.

Back From the Looking Glass 13 Steps to Peaceful Home is our go-to guide to put this kind of support in place.

Logic is an essential tool but will only serve you if you have gathered as much data as possible by looking at the situation from as many perspectives as possible.

One crucial perspective we have missed in these steps is the data your emotions are offering.

That is why this process is unit 4 in our full course on emotional intelligence.

Please continue with the work in the other units if you want the highest possible quality data to analyse.

The wisdom you will begin accessing in yourself is well worth this journey of learning.
