Logic and reason should be used everywhere. I use it every time I think. If you do not use logic all the time, you may come off as stupid or senseless. Logic should be used as well common sense. I hate it when I see people who are dumb as a box of rocks and they think its cute. Reason should be used every time you make a decision. If you do not look past the present a reason may be hard to give, so every time you consider your choices you should consider why you are making that decision. For example, if you are getting married, you should have a reason, like caring about that person, not just because it sounds like a good idea, but because you have a good reason for why. I think that logic should be used at all times. Some people have book smarts, but no common sense, which is just as bad as someone who dropped out of school in the eighth grade. I think that common sense is needed, and without it, even a 4.0 GPA is useless because when you get out in the real world, there is no textbook that tells you how to live your life, and there is no one standing over you shoulder reminding you to do something or study. I think that reason is needed because otherwise some people can go crazy. A simple thing like oh its cold outside today, can turn into the world is about to end, and there is an ice age coming and we are all going to die, is unreasonable, and very ignorant. I use reason and logic everyday, and I have common sense and book smarts. I think that a good, well rounded person should have all of these qualities too.
