Before to be able to characterize a concept as (il)logical, we must make sure that this concept refers to an
actual phenomenon: That this phenomenon
exists and that we are capable of identifying its
nature.
So, please, define
love.
the act of falling in love?
Does it hurt?
oftentimes people say "they don`t know why they love fall in love with their partner, they just do"
I'm not big on trusting people. So, what makes you think that I believe what anyone has to say?
Second, how the fact that people are stupid enough to 'love' someone without knowing why is relevant in trying to identify/hypothesize the exsitence of a different cognitive process than Logic?
Third, it's not because they
believe they don't know why they 'love' someone, that they actually don't.
There are (psychological causes, i.e.) reasons to be drawn toward someone in particular rather than in someone else. They are mostly unconscious but they exist.
The fact that they don't even bother to try to know/identify them only show their, again, stupidity.
Also, people don't love
someone, they love the
image they have of/put on someone. Who can pretend to
know (perfectly) his/her partner??
They can say they know enough... Till they realize it's not quite true anymore (some months/years later).
What does it have to do with the cognitive process and method know as Logic?
Oftentimes animals save a species outside of their own species, and even raise ferral children, is that logical?
Why shouldn't it be?
If the other animals or the fact to save them don't threaten their own survival, we can consider it logical for them to help/raise them.
But you (implicitely) use a too broad definition of Logic... Or one not broad enough actually.
Logic is simply a mechanism and a method (both) relying on causation/causality.
As soon as you can identify a cause and/or reason for a phenomenon, Logic applies. It's a logical phenomenon.
That's what Logic IS. Nothing more.
did that act progress their own species?
Why? Do you assume that to help a animal from a different species is inherently illogical?
Again, if the animal have a reason to do so, its behavior is logical.
It may appear strange or unusual, but it's in no way 'illogical'.
there is a lot happens in life that defy`s logic.
Nope. Nothing does. I'm still waiting for a valid example. Better yet, an hypothesis/argumentation. You wouldn't want to make the fallacy of hasty generalization or the one of appeal to ignorance.
It's not because you cannot understand what is the reason for an event or a choice to happen, to be made, that there is no reason for it.
And it's not because you believe to have found an exemple of a behavior not induced by a logical decision, that you can generalize this example into an hypothesis.
Spontaneity is that logical?
Define please. I wouldn't want to apply to it a definition you would happen to disagree on.
Sudden Impulse is that logical?
Ok, this I can try. The fact that you take a decision (i.e. a
choice based on data and the situation/environment you're in)
counsciously or not and so quickly that you believe no decision was made, doesn't mean that there is no reason/cause for this 'sudden impulse.
It only proves you don't give enough credit for your brain capacity to analyze, determinate possible outcomes to a situation and take action(s). Our brain is the most powerful 'machine' existing on earth, remember that.
Give me example and I will find at least 3 possible reasons/caises to explain LOGICALLY this reaction you call 'sudden impulse'.
All this is about your (and countless other people)
(mis)interpretation of phenomena/events/behaviors. That's all.
