Why I Choose To Be Rational

A very close friend always calls me rational in a disapproving way and another say “you think you are always right” My first romantic interest once spelt the word stubborn for a school teacher by spelling out my name. So, there you have it, I’m a stubborn, rational individual who always think that I’m right. These are harsh word coming from the people so close to me. What are they seeing that makes them so wrong? Or what am I doing that wouldn’t make them right.

Why I choose to be…Rational

 

When they tell me ‘you always think you’re right’

How many times I’ve heard this, both day and night

Yet I don’t get it, should I be a person in doubt

Incapable of reasoning and working things out

Could it be that my observers would prefer me to be

Hopelessly undecided and have no integrity

Our Father gave us an incredible mind

Outstanding gift, of a beautiful design

So that we may weigh values and remember the mistake

Exclude the bad and the righteous appreciate

The Lord gave us this fantastic capacity

Original thoughts and cognitive faculty

Because He knew this, He gave us the right to choose

Every failure He knows and weeps for every soul He will loose

Rational behavior is rejecting all things unreasonable

And dismissing what religion will test to be unacceptable

There is nothing allowed that’s foolish, absurd or extreme

I choose to be rational and be guided by the Supreme

On Him I trust and on His word I’ll obey

No temptation or tomfoolery shall lead me astray

And when they say ‘You think you are always right’ to me

Lord, you guide my thoughts so next time I’ll agree
