Logic is like the sword

Logic is like the sword

Summary

Logic is likened to a sword because it is a powerful tool that enables us to carefully navigate through complex situations and arguments. Just as a sword can be used to defend oneself or attack, logic can be utilized to critically analyze and discern truth from falsehood. It allows us to construct coherent thoughts, make sound judgments, and dismantle fallacious reasoning. Logic is essential in our pursuit of knowledge and understanding, serving as a weapon to cut through ambiguity and uncover rationality.

But there must be a real giving up of the self. You must throw it away 'blindly' so to speak. Christ will indeed give you a real personality: but you must not go to Him for the sake of that. As long as your own personality is what you are bothering about you are not going to Him at all. The very first step is to try to forget about the self altogether. Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him.

I was never jailed. The fact is that I was arrested, but I went into a diversion programme, and by that time I'd already begun working in what was called anger management. It was a painful and awful moment.
