Everybody knows what is rational. It is so straight forward that acting rational is to do the right thing.
Did you know that acting rationally is actually doing the right thing for yourself not to other people?? For instance you bought a house, and you have to renovate it thus there will be disturbances to people that neighboring around you so is this rational??
The answers are: Yes, you are rational because you renovate the house to have a better living for yourself and your family but we cannot avoid the disturbances that will bring to the neighborhood (Ethical). Conclusively, there are actually 2 answers for the question which are rational and ethical. Unfortunately, i am not going much into ethical topic today.
Come back to rational. I found myself to be silly asking people to be rational when i was not. Let me justify: people has different interest, desire, and reason for something. People might have a common interest for other reason And people might have common desire for different reason also. For example: Getting a girl friend! It's life to have a girl friend and maybe to get married and to produce baby and to get old together till the end of the life. Do you think every guy out there getting a girl friend for the same reason?
Just for example:
INTEREST: Why are you so interested with her??
DESIRE: Are you feeling lonely?
REASON: What is your purpose of getting her?
Common Interest: pretty girl, caring, good personality, sporting, and bla bla bla
Reason of guy# 1 : to get with her till the end of the life
Reason of guy# 2 : to sleep with her and dump her
Common Desire: I want her to fulfill my desire (SEX)!
Reason of guy #1 : I want to have sex with her because i love her and i wanna be with her always
Reason of guy#2 : I want to have sex with her because she's hot and bitchy!
As you can see: people acts rationally to their own interest. In other words, they are doing the right thing because they do something for a reason that at the end of the day with a result but ethics will determine that right or wrong.
So when do you think you can voice out that that person is irrational?
In my opinion, when that person is in unsound mind situation where he cannot even choose what's best for him! driving home himself VS someone drives him home.
Conclusion, rational is present when people do something for interest, desire, and for a reason of their own.
*Just my opinions, and if you have any comments please just keep it to yourself because this is not an arguement post!
