Reason has become the judgment of right and wrong, and we use honor, return, and restoration as its predicates. Thinking is also reduced to three, six, nine, etc., because "an unexamined life is not worth living".
In most ordinary lives, we embrace this theory and use it as an encouragement. Even young literary and artistic people do not forget to express the reasons for emotional belonging from the sad spring and autumn. Too much senseless sensibility is easy to be blamed. At this level, no one can say that reason is harsh, because it does and should always play a leading role.
Until it broke away from the daily life and stepped into some special and complex extreme scenes, rationality encountered its old opponent again. But this time, it's not that one side can just bow their heads a little, and they can be at peace with each other. The infinite growth of opponents has changed the problem from competition to substitution. Psychologists and sociologists have always wanted to find the reasons and mechanisms for people to change with the environment. Stranger, polarization, and sense of separation are all annotating emotions. But it is difficult for anyone to really explain that emotion is the most basic perception and the biggest uncertainty of human beings, how to present it in the most comfortable way.
The conclusion is often that it can't be done. We are bound by the set of rules established by rationality, which is, after all, the relatively correct way to operate so far. It's just that, in some cases, in the fringes of right and wrong, our inner impulses rebel against the norms of self-establishment. This is by no means simple. In the face of a vicious prisoner, we want to kill him quickly. It may be a prisoner who is trying to save his family, a prisoner who is desperate for revenge, an indifferent bystander who is not involved in the crime... There is no standard answer to complex situations, and the iron law is not airtight.
The original intention of all preaching the supremacy of reason is to avoid remorse brought by impulse. But willing to submit to this impulse is the fate of human beings. Because rationality is not a sage standard that overrides complex human nature.
