Hello Falling Leaves.

If you were to write a book I would like to read it. 🙂--though I read very little.

We have spoken before of the tendency we have sometimes to arrive at reasoning to--back up, agree with, augment, --feelings, opinions etc which we feel are important to us personally.

I think your post above elaborates well on this phenomenon in a metaphoric way with your use of the furniture metaphor. ( I hope I have interpreted your writing as you intend it to be understood).

I think this phenomenon, occurrence, points up a connection between reason and purpose. Either personal reason and personal purpose, or perhaps less often--collective reason for collective purpose (something you also touch upon)--or combinations of the two.

If this is so, or even perhaps so, then it seems prudent to understand /assess what role fulfilling prior purpose has had in the application of the process of reasoning when reasoning is either presented to us, or undertaken by our own reasoning process.

Cheers. X.
