Reality

We can only solve intellectual problems by reasoning, we will never understand the deep currents of life.
At the command of reason, the heart is hurt.
The mind always has a reason for the way it works. If we are hard-wired to control our mind, the reason will not become clear, because we won't let it reveal itself.

reason to get up in the morning.
