Rational or Irrational
The mind –
Rational or irrational?
Is it just
Chemicals and
Reactions
controlling our thoughts,
Emotions
Desires
Rationally.
But does hope disprove it?
Is there more than
what we see? Instead
a complex beyond
our understanding
controlling our thoughts,
Emotions
Desires
Irrationally.
When we think, what do we do?
Do we activate minute
neural pathways,
sending specific
Chemicals and
Reactions
to their destinations,
activating our response,
or do we bring in hope,
Desire,
Emotion,
Fear,
Logic,
Rage,
Creativity,
Ambition,
and balance them within our minds?
Rational or Irrational?
Can men map
their own brains,
their own thoughts,
like the border of a nation
or a constellation?
Is there a mother of the sciences,
Specific Chemicals and
Reactions
that has born all other sciences?
And what does it mean,
If the answer is yes?
What does virtue mean?
What about Fear?
Logic?
Deceit?
Ambition?
Anger?
Desire?
Emotion?
What can thought mean when
we can replicate it on a computer
or in a beaker?
Or is thought a paradox within itself?
What if the one thing the mind cannot understand
is itself?
Rational and Irrational.
