college, it seems, is a time where irrational behavior is more the rule than the exception.
philosophers are obsessed with reason. these philosophical maxims ring through my semester: reason as king. ration reigns. to war against reason is to war against yourself.
i fear, though, that i have become susceptible to irrationality. not all the time. but just sometimes, i forget ration. i become drunk with the air around me and forget to...think. and what is more frustrating than trying to be reasonable and grounded amid a majority of smart, yet illogically-behaving people. do i have any other choice but to suppress my brain and succumb to that other source which causes me to behave like a lunatic?
are rationality and sociality synonyms or antonyms?
