Reason to me, is the defining characteristic of being human. Reason is a tool of the enlightened. Not simply the learned who see what others have done and go their way. The enlightened reasoner constantly learns and will never deal in absolutes or mysticism. The reasoner will not belittle, hate, or commit violence. A reasoner is always able to doubt or disbelieve. A reasoner will concede in an argument when they are compelled by logic and truth. Let reason prevail. Let truth triumph.
