Being reasonable, having reasons not mere causes, and not rationalizing. People have many causes, Zionism, Islam, Patriotism for which they do unreasonable things. They then rationalize this as 'duty', 'honor', 'faith'. Better think it through and not blow up the world for a cause.

If you're reasoning with another person, you're trying to influence them with your thoughts & ideas. If you're tryint to "reason" with yourself to figure something out or answer an internal question, you are trying to influence yourself by trying to figure out how you should think about something. trouble is, "Common sense" is not always good sense, & reasoning internally is a closed loop unless U hook into cosmic/god energy
