It is interesting to follow stands of arguments. Someone has half a dozen reasons to do something. Someone else has half a dozen reasons to do something else.
Logic drives our actions, and we find a dozen reasons to justify why we are doing it.
A new logic makes us do something else. And we find another dozen reasons to justify that too.
HENRY AND RUBY
Henry and Ruby are discussing which car to buy. Henry likes Brand Z and Ruby likes Brand Y. He has his reasons. She has hers. Both aren't able to convince each other. Why?
Because the preference for the brand is preconceived, moulded by some logic, some reason, which both Henry nor Ruby are holding firmly to.
It's not just with cars.
NORA AND LILY
Nora prefers to be single and has been ignoring the suggestions of her close friends and family on why she should get married. She has reasons to be single.
But every time her closest friend Lily manages to persuade her to give marriage a thought, Nora has her own reasons to say why all the guys A, B, C, D and E are simply not the worth the trouble sharing her life with.
Lily is actually finding reasons to push her point of view. And Nora is finding reasons to stay single.
Will Henry ever like Brand Y and will Ruby ever like Brand Z?
Will Nora ever get married?
Not unlikely.
SO, WHAT HAPPENED?
One day, it finally dawns on Henry that his preferred car Brand Z is actually way too expensive and his financial jugglery (he elaborately planned) will simply not work. He finds merits in Ruby's arguments. Both heads to the showroom to buy Brand Y.
What about Nora? She gets married to William.
"William?" wonders Lily. "Why William?"
"Why not? I like him," says Nora. "Moreover, I am tired and bored of being alone. And there are so many other reasons why I thought I must get married."
