Sometimes I eavesdrop on people. I could rationalize it - oh, this is good anthropological research for characters I'm writing - but it's basically just nosiness. It also helps me gauge where I'm at: Am I normal?
The very essence of rationalism is that it assumes that the reason is the highest faculty in man and the lord of all the rest.
