I once thought that logic was infallible. That if you could explain something to someone intelligently, that they would understand what you said and understand it's validity. I didn't think that pure truth should offend anyone or that people would cling to false ideologies and things that don't make sense so readily. I never meant to do anyone any harm, I've just been on a quest for knowledge my entire life, and questions, my questions, didn't necessarily think to check weather or not their nature or content might offend someone.
I will tell you something about the average adult; They hate being proven wrong. Especially by an eight year old. This is something I realized at a very early age, along with the fact that sometimes you're wrong because you're a little kid, not because there are flaws in your conclusions. I would ask teachers the real-life relevance of their classes on a regular basis. I would explain to people that (and why) certain restrictions on myself, and certain habits of theirs and others didn't make any sense. People often must have wondered who I thought I was. Such arrogance in someone so small, who simply can't know what he's talking about because. The truth lies in my thirst for knowledge, in that I thought that they had a reason for doing what they were, and I wanted to know these reasons in the hopes that I might be able to apply such reasoning to my life.
I would hope that at some point most people realize reasoning is far and few in between. People don't like to think. I've had dental assistants explain to me that natural disasters aren't so bad because they help to negate overpopulation. Emotions and impulse are the driving force behind so many decisions. In order to get messages across the average person, one must appeal to their senses and most importantly their feelings. Mathematics aren't so important as the fluttery sensation one gets inside their stomach.
