Reason

 " Thoughts without contents are empty,

Intuition without concept are blind"

" There is nothing higher than reason"

Words of wisdom from German philosopher Immanuel Kant, let us throw light on human ability to reason or have critical thinking and thus letting us explore the depth through our reasoning.

What is reason?

Is it the projection of our thoughts,

determined by the knowledge learned,

with influences of regional traditions,

bringing little changes and additions.

As we have different experiences,

from upbringing to new exposures,

affecting the processing of ideas,

identifying it as our position.

But truth varies from person to person,

while others are seen with suspicions, 

how can our perception of reality,

be based on logic under opposition?

Human mind works in mysterious way,

for our needs should have similar traits,

yet there are opinions and differences,

in living life with our preferences. 

Let us be the rational being,

even if it's in conflict with certain beliefs,

for, there has to be universal codes,

that's written in moral and ethical notes.

A faith in the authority of higher power,

shouldn't robe us from questioning orders,

a curious mind, debating intellect,

help us evolve as a consciousness. 

So, what is reason?

if not for the integrity,

an adherence to natural laws,

created out of common sense.

A clarity of vision,

consistency in the regulations,

with coherent answers and explanations,

for every concerns and confusions.
