Watching the NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg(but this applies to almost all public figures!) Reason is a tool, often the primary one, that provides cover for cowardice, hypocrisy, self-interest and self-justification, insensitivity and sometimes outright misinformation. But we are taught in our highly-esteemed schools, to honour even to love it(reason) . If we seriously want to know what is happening we need to see beyond the veil of Reason. Sorry Aristotle lol but you have led us down the garden path. And even “garden-path” is a misnomer. It is the road to hell! As one of my Sufi teachers, Bawa Muhayideen, taught us “The road to hell is lined with beautiful posters”! What he didn’t say was that most of these posters-specifically the ones that don’t appeal to our desires- are impregnated with Reason! God help us!
