    I’m not so sure about that. Anyway I can only speak for myself. I’m not ”100% confident” in my personal beliefs. I believe what I put out in thought, word and deed eventually comes back around, although perhaps not in the exact way or form, from the same venues, that I put it out there. Can I prove it? No and that’s why it’s “faith” and "belief.” I’m not trying to convince anyone, but am open to discussion, when I’ve time and inclination, and feel it’s in good faith.

      Are you otherwise a very logical person in other aspects of life? Because it sounds like you may not be the type of person I’m talking about.

        Imo, things can affect logic, like mood, nutrition, health, how much people have happening at once. So yes, I like to think I’m fairly logical, certainly a lot less emotional as I age. But I’m not wedded to it, because I have faith I’ll wake up tomorrow, but know there’s a possibility I won’t. That seems logical.

          You might be thinking of a personal definition of logic. Mood, nutrition, and health can affect a person’s ability to use logic, it does not affect logic itself. Having faith that you’ll wake up tomorrow and understanding there is a possibility you won’t is not an example of logic, that is an example of understanding mortality.
