I think that we are defined by our most rational moments because even though we might feel the most alive and ourselves during our irrational moments the majority of the time we are acting rationally. Therefore, because the majority of our time is spent acting rationally we are defined by that. I think that even though sometimes I irrationally stay up late I don't think that those moments define me, rather my rational acts of going to bed at the correct time every other night that defines me.
Clavin, I like the points you brought up in this. I think it's interesting how you see rational actions define us. I didn't think of that.
ReplyDeleteCalvin nice job! I liked how you gave an example of how you think irrationally. That definitely was a good way to support your point, because it makes perfect sense. You stay up late sometimes, but that is not a defining feature in your life.
