logic v/s magic

Logic is too simplistic a tool to use with such complex creatures as us. The kind of logic which we are capable of is just not enough to deal with our emotions and feelings and thoughts ....

U cut out many dimensions of life if u want to be “logical” with ur limited scope of logical processing capability. Is the expectation to be logical at all logical?

There are million colors, eye can see thousands, brain can recognize hundreds and we can talk of seven…that is what logic does to your experiencing of life.. it maps million colors to seven..

spouse, friend, sibling - simplistic relationship labels to fit in the wide range of complex relationships people can have between them. Why did people(in ooold times) to go such great lengths to curtail..to curb… and to cut a ball to fit into a box?

This has nothing to do with logic but with society, but then why should second paragraph have anything to do with the first?

a few hours later:

As a corollary, life devoid of logic also means missing out a few dimensions of existence...I dono if I have written it before but anyway... one fine day not so long back.. I realized how to look at abstract painting or rather how to appreciate abstract art, (me being a natural at being left brained, I had to think about it and figure it out.) just let urself feel it, not try to understand it. relax and pay attention to how it makes u feel... "THAT!!" is how u enjoy art,Aaha!!! by feeling what the artist is trying to make u feel or what the artist felt.. not necessarily by understanding the art. first time in my life i went beyond logic and understanding I think.. revelation..

that does not mean logic means nothing, it is what I naturally turn to, I used to be ( probably still am) a snob about being logical and putting down people who arent so..but i am having so much fun trying to let go of it ...i discovered magic :-) it lies just beyond logic ...u can only let go of logic for something more.. not for something less..
