The process of careful thinking, using good reasoning along with facts to come to a true conclusion.

The force to uphold truth in matters of discussion, arguments and to uphold justice( when facts are weighed objectively).

Yes, it can force me to think before I speak if I want to convey a thought correctly to convince others of something I state is true.

Logic is a set of methods to compare and evaluate the consistence and validity of reasoning behind connected statements.

I believe that exercising these methods would help me understand if or how much connected statements apply to natural laws of the observable world or accepted common believes.

Sometimes, when logic fails to describe naturally occurring phenomenon, it might indicate the lack of validity or completeness of the laws or believes hence provide better insight into the subject.

Unless attached to machines, logical methods are mental exercises, they have no direct power to control actions. They have a combined influence in people in how to direct their actions according to their subscribed believes or laws.

However useful logic may or may not be, people could always act on alternative methods for evaluations and comparisons such as but not limited to emotions, instincts, experiences and luck. These other methods produce varying degree of success and show that logic is only as good as limits and scopes of the connected statements.

That's logic in a nut shell, I think.

Logic is the system we use to describe sense experience for purpose. 'Logic' does not usually represent as itself 'force', but as it is the control for personal force, it is the authoritative secondary determiner for action. Logic is intellectual essence, itself representative and represented at the same time. Logic is self and other. The Purpose is individualistic, specious, personal, and as such is subject as logic is subject to the person, the "I" that uses it. This is the simplest description for the Logic.

logic is thinking that can be proven
proven means that 2 people can sit down and discuss, argue, and decide together that something is true
however, they must decide together that if 2 other people look at this same issue, it seems of a reasonable surity that they will find the same answer.
logic is not an easy or simple thing,; there is responsibility involved.
and , of course, this is only speaking from planet Earth, 2006, ideology (USA)

the only force in my life is ... mine
