The Burden of Intellect

[Ektar]

Those of us cursed with the ability of logical thought are bound by the laws of reason and rationality. The others blessed with ignorance and a clouded mind can pass through these obstacles without difficulty. The end is all they can see; they'll go straight to it by whatever means, not having to yielding to any sort of sense or order.

We unfortunates must travel the maze of argument to reach our points. Others are able to walk ahead using fallacy upon fallacy while we attempt to clean up their messes. But it is impossible to keep up. While we are picking up after them, they are already on something else that we'll have to clean up after they're done depositing. After each clean up we try to get back on track toward our goal, but the next pile to clean takes us (without the ability to transverse the bounds of logic) too far out of the way.



An illustration to analogize this fact is a child with a toy sword. Let's say you're doing a play fight with your little cousin. He slashes the air and begins celebrating, saying "yeah I got you!" You, baffled, stand there and try to explain why he's wrong, but it's like talking to a brick wall. He just continues on with his celebration of his victory.
