How Thinking With Consequential Logic Creates A Better Life

Foresight is a tool we should all have in our war chests However, many of us disregard this critical thought process If I drink this much and drive my car, I just might crash, killing myself or someone else If I talk about my boss behind his back to the wrong person, I could get fired for some trivial reason

Almost everyone knows the difference between right and wrong, but do we all apply thinking with consequential logic before committing our wrongs? Probably not The reasons are plenty, but simply put, many of us are too lazy or careless

If it is lazy, that can be more easily fixed than that of careless Lazy is just that, lazy Working a little extra hard by churning the brain with logic before minor or major decisions creates a more seamless living environment for not only yourself, but everyone around you

Careless is more difficult to fix because the person is caring less about something that requires someone to yield more care This is a fundamental disregard for the situation or an inadequate comprehension of the dynamics of that particular situation or decision

Usually people other than yourself are involved, assuming you have careless tendencies Let me clarify with an example: You are on a roof reshingling with a working partner, but you are a level below him/her and this person would like to get down to your level They ask if you could set the step ladder up so they can get down, so you do By not holding the ladder tightly as the person descends, they fall and die

This is a blatant example of disregarding someone else’s safety by not caring enough It could also be construed as lazy; however, in this situation it is more likely that carelessness trumps laziness big time

In this hypothetical example, if this person thinks with consequential logic, they would know that leaving the ladder unsecured while this person is stepping down could have deadly consequences

This mindset should be on automatic pilot all the time However, many people think their logic is fine when they pass another car when climbing a hill Their thinking is it shouldn’t matter because it’s a new V6 This is skewed thinking because logically you should, under any circumstances, never attempt this maneuver However, putting too much hope and faith into something and thinking that everything will be just fine is always asking for trouble

When thinking under a more controlled mindset, logic will prevail and instead of always wearing the rosy glasses hoping everything will turn out fine, you will have assurance knowing certain variables need to add up before a decision is made

If this mindset is not taken seriously, problems, trouble, and dysfunction in relationships and employment will more than likely always follow

Taking the extra time to pause and let the brain logically process any given scenario without obscuring its reality, can only benefit any perspective person Life will consistently throw curve balls at you, but using consequential logic when critical thinking or not, makes for a better life
