The Logic of the Illogical

A rather dusty looking gentleman to my right piqued my interest when he told us his approach to love. He said that since love was illogical, one must follow illogical pathways to harness it perfectly. The man who takes a woman out to dinner may be interesting, aye, but the man who takes a woman to a picnic under a waterfall will truly gain love, as one example. Quite interesting- using the illogical in a logical fashion. I asked him if he was married, but he said no.

“The problem is I’ve met far too many women who would be perfect fits, and that goes entirely against my mantra. I’ve yet to meet the worst woman for me. That’s the girl I’ll marry.”

Needless to say, I found him to be rather loopy. But that’s philosophy for you.

It’s really quite strange, this Train of Thought. Full of radicals, revolutionary thinkers… the last sort of people I’d think the government would sponsor. I leaned my head against the wall, considering the paradox.

Then I noticed the ticking noise inside that wall.
