The Nature Of Irrational Thinking; by philoedu(m): 1:08pm On Jan 12, 2018
The irrational thinking is quite different from rational thinking. This is the process where individual tends to disregard reason and logic in favour of emotion and sentiment. Prevalent in this minefield is an overwhelming of an emotional tension, when it comes to making a decision based on any particular issue or situation. Sometime such situation may not allow an individual to pay attention to facts and logic as it overwhelm an individual in favor of subjective judgment.

There are school of thought that believed that irrational thinking involves availability of bias and sentiment as it obscure the sense of objective judgment. And it denotes that individual tends to focus only on recent event with similar situation, in the use the knowledge to handle other issues or situation even though it was a subjective one.

This simply means the tendency of lack of sense of analysis of any possible outcome of any particular decision of which emotion prevail over objective rule of judgment. It is been observed that irrational thinking can distort reality as to act as a barrier between the individual sense of objective stance and success. Of cause, it would make any individual come up with a stance with no logical basis, as it become detrimental to reason.

The main difference between rational and irrational thinking is that while rational thinking is based on logic and reason, the irrational one is based on neither of the side. But rational thinking is the very process based on reason and logic, although, with some doubts due to objective and subjective outlook of judgment, as it would not be totally immune from error. And individual who think rationally, would pay attention to the factual bases, through which he analyze the possible outcome of any situation or issue and the likely response before reacting.

[b][/b]In the face of any difficult situation, a rational individual would have to looks beyond the emotional instinct he may feel at any particular moment to act wisely, in avoidance of any pitfall on the side of irrationality. The same is true, that when engaging in rational thinking, any individual must use all the information available that has to do with past experiences. Because any past experience through the sense of analysis will always assist in the direction of what must have being hard to do, through which he chooses the best option available for any decision making in the reduction of subjective stance in favor of objectivity.
