A Call for Returning to Logic

Never ignore the experience of life of the people who love you, such as your father, mother, grandfather or whoever wanted the good for you. These people have learned how life goes and circles, they know how people react to different situations, they can analyze people's personalities so they can prevent or avoid their bad behavior in advance, etc…, but who of us listens carefully to what is said? Isn't it logical to go to an expert doctor if you have a serious illness? Won't you be considered “stupid” if you got the high experienced doctor and went to a just-graduated student who has a not-sticked-well label of two letters (Dr.) in front of his name (if any)?! This is what we all do: we leave our parents and experts in life, and we go our friends who are probably a couple years older than us and ask them for assistance and support in life, while we know that they are not the most experienced doctors of life. But we do that because sometimes the parents' advices are against our desired wishes, whereas the friends' advices matches our desire and wishes. So this is a call to start working and thinking logically with our minds, and to stop letting emotions and passions control the way we live.
