Makes Too Much Sense to Not Make Sense

When we are young, we enter school and right away we are taught the methodology of logic and reasoning.  For example, 1 + 1= 2.  How do we know this?  Hold up your index finger on your right hand.  Now hold up your index finger on your left hand. The nomenclature given to one finger is ‘one’ while the other is identified as ‘two.’  By use of this representation, it is understood how one finger and one other finger together makes two fingers.  As I write this, the idea of how something was named numerically made as much sense as to the reasoning why I can type these words, until I did some research about angles.  I'll tangent off to math some other time.

The equation 1 + 1 = 2 becomes a logical standing because the reasoning of how to get from one point to another, from A to B, or from beginning to end.  I find it odd that we always have to find a reason or a purpose in order for everything around us to MAKE SENSE.  We all have identifiers that explain why something or someone is the way it is, which also leads to stereotypes.  For instance, if I give the phrase 'movie star' a person is more likely to think of fame, money, or even a specific movie star's reputation.  If I use a different term of 'homeless person,' people may associate this phrase with a person who was lazy, drinks a lot, and deemed all around worthless (although Youtube has proved otherwise).

Society uses reasoning for labels and standards, doctors use it to backtrack how to prevent a disease, and scientist use it to determine where are beginning and end even exist.  With all this work trying to make sense of things, you would think that we would have more answers to make sense of everything reflecting upon how far we have already come.  The difference is that there are too many variables that exist.  A disease that has developed in two different people does not always develop the same way, thus using the same approach to heal or prevent the disease is not logical.

So what do we do when something follows logic and 'makes sense,' but ends with a different result?  Some people get flabbergasted, go insane, freak out, because every step that took place was suppose to end the same way as other cases.  It was suppose to be a proven fact, multiple tests were done, there should not have been a doubt, why did this not turn out, what was wrong........Ok, I think you get the understanding of potential panic mode due to a difference, but sometimes trying to find the reason is the most illogical part of making sense.

I guess through all my verbal vomit I am trying to figure out how something so right could go so wrong?  How could something so easy get to the final step and become hard?  How is it that you can almost have something you have desired for a long time only to have it slip away at your finger tips?  I do not understand and in the midst of confusion many contributors do not make sense, if not contradict themselves.  Now beyond my personal headache from mentally spinning around in circles over an issue that should be easy and make sense, I know in my mind that you cannot predict everything and not everything has a specified label.  Then there is the part of me that contains the hair pulling steps of logic that once 'made sense' and is learning to accept that now is not the time to over think, but move to another path in hopes to ....'make sense' of things.
