Rationale

Maybe it's because it's 01:45, or maybe it's me overthinking things, but I can't seem to understand something. This is going to get vague, so don't worry if you can't follow a word I'm saying, I just need to vent for a minute.

I tend to rationalize things. Not in the sense that I try and make wrong things right through justification, rather I try and understand other viewpoints from a rational standpoint. That is where I am failing, and have been failing for a little while now. In trying to understand certain concerns I have gathered evidence and multiple viewpoints to rationalize certain behaviours. Granted I'm missing a viewpoint, but that's part of the problem too. The main problem I am coming across is that I find no rational explanation for the behaviour.

Now some would say, "You aren't dealing with a rational person." That is a point to which, in some sense, I agree. My problem is that I cannot accept lack of rationality for long-term problems. Lack of rationality in humans is a short term problem, if it is not a short term problem it may be time for Mr. Baker to step in. Really, you may be in the grip of a sociopath, but can you, in good conscience, continue to ignore the facts so to justify your own bad behaviour?

Is this the place for this dialogue? No. I know it is not. At this point I have no other choice. I like to enjoy things, and I truly enjoy reconcilliation. Will this help? Doubt it. I sure wish it would. I didn't have anything to do with this to begin with, but somehow I'm caught in the middle again.

Add me to the confused list. Hope everything works out soon.

Thanks. It's all good and will work out. Nothing to worry about, just letting off some steam.
