When the facts are there in front of us, how can we not but accept them? How one claim to be blind when one can see? How can the knowledge that one knows about something suddenly be erased, and one become oblivious to the know beforehand? Facts are one aspect of decision making, the other is the will of the heart to admit the truth. The logical and rational mind of a normal human being is there to process and evaluate information from the various input senses. The ratiocination skill may not be innate in all of us, but it can be trained and one can be an expert it evaluating the truth about events and occurrences. But, the next important thing is the decision or follow-up action to the completed analysis. Are we correct or are we in the wrong? At this juncture, the will of the heart will take over. The emotional side will often win the battle. The truth may be on one side, the final decision may be on the other. This is where logic does not seem to have a place. The emotional side or how one feel about something will, normally, at the end decides all. This is the sad thing about decision making.
In all this potential and probable mass, there is exception. Decision can and would be made mainly on analyses and rational judgement, if it is done in the open and according to a set rules of decision making. Some sort of a reference point or look-up table. The factor of the heart may no longer wield such a strong decision-influencing factor. Everything will be based on facts, and emotion has very small role.
In a nutshell, at the individual, emotion and feeling may the king, but at the public and formal domain, logic and rational will be the only criteria of truth and falsehood.
Hope you agree with me....
