Review the entries with critical thinking in mind

Today I had a chance to chat with one of my friends. He discussed me about the "Anger is beautiful" entry of my blog. He said my conclusion on the article itself is wrong. He insisted that Wrath", "Avarice", "Sloth (deadly sin)", "Pride", "Lust", "Envy", and "Gluttony" are seven sins in Christianity and he prove his point that he doesn't see anger as beautiful or my entry shouldn't make assumption that anger is beautiful.

That what we have in here is that the entry is the personal experience of a person, not a fact. So the logic behind it is appeared to be flawed if someone read the entry with critical thinking in mind. So what he convinced me was that we can write with or without emotions in our daily blog or diary. But we don't see them as a logic or conclusion to solve the further problem. Until we find the logic or fact to make the decision we must keep our arguments opened.

So what happened to "Anger is beautiful" entry. It should be opened to the reader as a wide open arguments to argue , counter argue and so fourth in order to form a proper logic and make a decision at the end.

We should see this as a problem, a problem to be solve, to reach to the solution. Now we are shifting away from logic and arguments and now we see things as "problems,information and decision". Yes, this is another way to think critically. Problems must be recognized, the information must be gathered to solve the problems, assumptions must be cleared out and replaced with facts until we can find the solution which is allowed as to make the decision.

So what happened to "Anger is beautiful" entry. It should be re-looked with critical thinking in mind, with a skeptical view to form the other arguments. That's what the comments box in the blog are for. They are for arguments. Of course this place is no forums, and not a well known blog, so there are no arguments around in this area. So the best thing is to form the argument by myself and counter against the original idea to come up with the logical solution or statement.

So what I argue about seeing Anger as a beautiful thing is that we can see anger and pride in battlefield and the anger is a mixed emotion of all. Then again I formed a counter argument on my own that about Fear. There is one saying in Christianity saying that "The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of the knowledge". But my friend told me that it is just a motivational phase for the people who do have initiative to do something in their life. So we kept on and on forming arguments upon one another ideas.

Then my friend came up with the idea of logic. How the logic is formed and he believed that there is no such thing as IQ and the people are different to each other depending on how they form the logic. Then he explained me about Deductive logic and Inductive logic (reference: designobserver ) .

So what I see is that I need to re-looked into my previous entry with critical thinking skill and form the argument to form the logic and the solutions.
