How do you justify your stand when you know youre on the wrong side?

How would you save

yourself from being condemned when you know that you are the one who has the fault in the
scenario? Would you easily accept the fact that you were wronged? Or you will try to justify
yourself and utter the most logical reasoning of your actions? Answers on these questions may
start with, it depends to, but the actual and most abrupt response of an individual was to
justify yourself and utter the most logical reasoning of his/her actions. This is where the twisted
logic manner with come into the scenario.
The article Twisted Logic by Cito Beltran published on June 1, 2007 overall objectify the whole
idea of twisted logic and tried to subjectively each points and ideas brought by the idea of
Twisted Logic.
[INSERT SUMMARY HERE]
With this thoughts presented by the writer, we could come up with a greater understanding of
the Twisted Logic. We were able to see the deeper sense of judgement and how brilliant
reasoning can utter the real justified logic behind the situation that we are giving our opinion
upon. We can say the Twisted Logic reasoning tend to blinded us from the real concept of just
and fool us with fabricated ideas that tend to eat all our logical understanding upon the subject.
But with all this thoughts, given by the article, the reader may be wondering these question,
Which is more acceptable, the logical justification or the moral judgement upon the subject?
We can see here that the major opponent of our logical reasoning is our moral judgements. As
a reader, we tend to dissect the major ideas that supports the twisted logic, as I look
thoroughly I saw that twisted logic pops out when moral judgement overpowers the logical
reasoning given in the scenario. Just put into example the part of the article that says,
In many villages and barangays in the Philippines, a husband, or a parent or an older child will
slap someone weaker or smaller because they answered back. But instead of confronting the
abuser, many neighbours simply turn away and justify their fear and their weaknesses by saying
it wouldnt have happened if the weaker or smaller person did not answer back.
This part speak off that the societal norm of answering back the elders overpowers the logical
reality that the weaker person was abused. We can see that standing in the Philippine context,
we can therefore say that moral judgement overpowers the logical reasoning given in the
scenario. It is always the natural tendency as a Filipino. But do we need to always decide in
parallel to what is the norm in our society, or is it the time to hold back the beliefs and start
looking deeper upon the logical judgements?
Aside from having a trade-off between logical justification and the moral judgement, I was also
thinking about the thought of personal view depending on personal perspective and the
personal view in parallel to what was expected by the society. It was said that,
It becomes easy to relate and be understanding of wrongdoers simply because their enemies
are also our enemies.
These statement concludes my previous thought. The person may have personal biases on
his/her opinions, he/she also knows the idea of good/better or bad/worse. But it seems that
the personal biases overshadows all the logical preference in the decision making. Instead of
having a personal view depending on personal perspective, he/she tend to react with the
personal view in parallel to what was expected by the society which as in the case of the given
scenario was to be angry because the stressed person was his/her enemy. Here, twisted logic
again enters the situation.
These are the two main thoughts who suddenly tickle my reasoning mind upon the given topic
of Twisted Logic. This is a very powerful tool in fooling the shallow minds of the public in
making people believe upon the reasoning that may utter the more reliable truth. This make or
break a thought, build or destroy bonds and show or hide reality. Given the Philippines context
in further explanation of the topic, I could say that this is threat to Filipino people who tend to
react abruptly upon issues. I am hoping such way of reasoning may not mislead the people to
the proper truth from the blinded facts. I may not know which was the heavier judgement, was
it logical or the moral justification, or I may not assure that everyone avoid their personal
biases, I still believe the judgements will surely depends on the personal ability in weighing
facts, considering situations and choosing the most reliable source of information. Twisted
Logic may be a threat but I believe that people are logical enough to further see the reality
hiding beyond the foolish way of proposing ideas sugar-coated by the twisted logic reasoning.
On the positive side of the subject, this is a very effective tool to test the ability of the people in
making decisions, a very friendly way to subconsciously test your own perspective and a way
for the people to weigh their thoughts and personal belief for a better outcome of the decision
to be made.
