Why are people incapable of logic?
Recently, I was talking about how anyone who commits suicide were cowards. And this psycho in my class was went into an uproar, because his brother killed himself, and felt that I was calling him a coward. But I tried to correct him, and say that I wasn't calling his brother a coward, or anything for that matter. I was just saying that people who commit suicide in general, collectively, were cowards. Not that his brother was a coward for doing it. I also tried to explain that there was a stark difference between the two. But it seemed like it did fuck all.
Anyway, this dumbass wouldn't listen; and kept getting angrier and angrier. Enough so, that people gradually left the room in fear. But I tried sticking to my guns, and reiterated that I didn't call his brother a coward for committing suicide. I only said people who commit suicide were generally cowards. Again, I didn't say his brother was a coward for killing himself. I only said that people who off themselves were cowards. That was literally it. Nothing else. I don't understand why that was so hard for him to comprehend. I tried to explain to him basic logic, most notably that because A equals B, doesn't mean that B equals A. But again, this did fuck all.
Initially, I wasn't intimidated by this guy, because I thought he was just trying to appear tough. Even when he kept getting closer, angrier, I just thought he was some kid wanting to look big. That's when he took out a pocket knife and went at me. Luckily a couple gents nearby managed to restrain him before he could do much damage. But he still got enough of a jab in my neck, that I had to spend a week in the hospital. But once I did return to class, campus security pulled me out of it, and cancelled rest of term for me. Because apparently another psycho got wind of this debacle, who also had a dad die to suicide, openly threatened to kill me.
What the fuck is wrong with people?
