Just like that..can u help me here?

Ok, a close friend provoked me into thinking about this and now I am. Why do we have to give a logical reason to every liking or disliking we ever have?
I like chocolates, why in god’s name do I have to reason it out as something that “makes me feel up-beat, helps beat stress, depression” etc etc. I just don’t get it. Why?


The same friend doesn’t like long cars, the esteem, and Ikon types. I happened to have questioned him, why not? And all I got as response was, “I just don’t” I couldn’t believe that an adult, a usually or lets just say most of the times rational adult gave me an answer like that. An answer that was just a statement and came with no instruction booklet in the form of Reasons!
But why did I expect an explanation in the first place itself? Are we programmed in that fashion? Is it that we like to over simplify things at times? Just so as to think that we are not mad, but sane and the rational (I think I hate that word now!) adults our parents reared up us as? Is that the root cause?

Or is it that we are scared of baseless likings n disliking, the kinds that come without a reason. Because I have no idea if you’ve ever noticed, but these irrational liking and disliking are often much more intense than the reasoned out ones. I hate someone with a vengeance, but I’ll never be able to put a finger on it. Why? Don’t know, but hate I will.

Also, does placing a reason behind every move and motive make us feel superior to others in a way? I mean I don’t know, say for example if I tell someone I don’t like walking and someone gave me a scathing, perfect and full of condescension answer on the benefits of walking, that too in full public eye! I would feel totally, absolutely, completely embarrassed. Mortified actually if I am honest.
All for what, to what end? That is my question, or lets say is one of my many questions!
Have you ever realized how much of energy we end up wasting in this quest of placing a reason behind every whim and fancy of ours?

I have this to say: If there were no reason, to anything under the sun, wouldn’t we be living in a rather chaotic world to say the least? As in if my friend tells me she hates taking a bath and won’t do so for, say 2 weeks, that’s gross enough, and then if she doesn’t furnish the explanation either, then I know I am going to not just get supremely frustrated, I would and it’s a promise, make some lesser being’s (some compliant, soft, nice person is what I mean by lesser being here) life a living hell! Unlivable. So where dose that put us? Did I get my answer?

Also, is it always imperative to get an answer to every query that raises its queasy head in your head? Is the answer always that important or the whole process of thinking over something that is going unnoticed around us, like the reason thing, more important for our being and life?
Think and let me know. Don’t forget to give me a reason for each pro and con.
