Question

a mind all logic is a knife all blade it makes hand bleed that uses

Answer 1

Rabindranath Tagore


A mind working on logic without humane values such as compassion, sympathy, empathy, care, respect, love, etc. is exactly like a sharp knife that will cut all those who will mishandle it. Without the above mentioned values human mind becomes evil. In place of the good values, it operates under the influence of nefarious and immoral tendencies such as greed, malice, jealousy, hatred, selfishness, etc., which always harm others and give deeper cuts than a real knife.


In the history of mankind much damage to civilization and our planet has been done by those humans who just lived under the influence of cold, apathetic, logic mind. All the wars, conflicts, conspiracies, etc. were the products of the inhumane logical mind only.


Wise men and women tried to teach mankind through beautiful plays, stories, novels, etc. how the insidious logic minds work and how to keep it under control; however, the mankind has learnt very slowly from them.


All great seers, prophets, messiahs, leaders, philosophers, and teachers of mankind were men of humane and divine emotions. They tamed their logic under the humane values and made the world a better place. Jesus had compassion on all the sick and needy and healed them. Lincoln had compassion for the slaves, who were human beings also, and worked for their emancipation.


In conclusion, we can say that we must not carry the sharpness of cold logic in our minds only, we should call the warmth of love and compassion in it too.
