Human beings are the only creatures who are able to behave irrationally in the name of reason.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Since all life is futility, then the decision to exist must be the most irrational of all.
The irrational in the human has something about it altogether repulsive and terrible, as we see in the maniac, the miser, the drunkard or the ape.
It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this.
Nothing defines humans better than their willingness to do irrational things in the pursuit of phenomenally unlikely payoffs. This is the principle behind lotteries, dating, and religion.
The contradictions are what make human behavior so maddening and yet so fascinating, all at the same time.
Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when he is called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason.
Human beings do things for a reason, even if sometimes it's the wrong reason.
To say that man is a reasoning animal is a very different thing than to say that most of man's decisions are based on his rational process. That I don't believe at all.
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason.
