Test statement:
"It is quite logical and rational to realise and acknowledge that many events that happen in our lives will appear to be innitially both irrational and illogical in their causation and effect.
In fact it would be quite irrational to believe other wise."
This statement springs from many discussions about how "universal truths" must be logical and rationally premised.
Whilst I tend to agree that ultimately all truths are rational and logical, I would condition this agreement by sayng that some truths would take eternity to rationlise, there for for practical purposes are irrational and will always be so.
This would apply especially to transient truths or truths that are fleeting in duration, yet truths all the same. Moments that appear to be illogical and may be proven to be logical if time permited the discovery of that logic.
[this is partularilly pertinant to the field of psychic phenomena]
Another example would be the question of "universal creation" and if one assumes that the universe came from absolute nothing-ness then this appears to be an illogical assumption only because we have yet to discover the logic that makes it logical.
So, in my opinion, it is important to be able to accept illogical and irrationality until the appropriate logic and rational can be found. With out this acceptance, the truth may be considered as false, delusion or illusion and discounted as fiction or fantasy... and therefore never validated or understood.
