Did you understand what you read?

85% fat free
.
15% fat
.
We eat it or we do not
.
If using our logical senses and our rules of good diet we do not eat it because it is not good for us period
.
If on the other hand we use our emotional side we eat it because it is only 15% fat and we want it and we find excuses, justifications
.
We use nuances to make our decision
.
Nuances that are often based on illusions
.
So let us look at what goes on in our brains
.
With the rule determined part of our brains
.
Rule determined behaviour though does not require nuances
.
Either you kill your neighbor or you do not
.
Intermediate sentiments are either useless or downright dangerous
.
Our emotions jolt us into action because it does not understand or accept nuances
.
For a long time or even today most of us think that we are endowed with a beautiful machine for thinking and understanding things
.
The problem with thinking is that it cause you to develop illusions
.
And thinking may be a waste of energy
.
Who needs it?
.
You do not have everything you know in your mind at all times so you retrieve what you need in a piecemeal fashion when you need it
.
Which puts these retrieved chunks in their local context
.
This means that you have an arbitrary reference point forgetting that you are only looking at the differences from that particular perspective of the local context not the absolutes
.
This can help us understand our behaviour
.
