I realized something recently. People act in a mostly reasonable manner most of the time. There is a catch. The frame of reason changes. See, logic and what is reasonable to some one often differ. So if you are angry, and you punch a hole in the wall and break your hand, it seemed like the best thing to do at the time (I suppose you could argue that people don't reason when they are angry, let's try again). Or if some one tells you that you can make a million dollars for driving their car across town, and you are incredibly dumb, and you do it, then get stopped by the cops and taken to jail because there was a dead body and 10 kilos of cocaine in the trunk. It was reasonable to you, because you did not have good information (ok, you would have to be pretty dumb to try that, one more). So say, you apply for a mortgage with a super low interest rate, and the mortgage agent tells you that the rate might increase, but you can refinance before it does. You get the mortgage, then a few years later the rate triples and you can't afford it any more and no one will give you a new load to refinance, and now you are homeless. You acted perfectly reasonable with the information you were given, but not all of it was true. The point is, reason alone can only take us so far. Reason is only useful with good information.
