The Fall of Single Feather...
Passion.
Wizard's Third Rule, "Passion rules reason."
This one should be easy to understand as well.
Someone does something out of passion, which they know it should not be what they should be doing, something that they could have acted out of reason.
The example, from the book, is about his woman, who tried to save her son, who has drowned in the lake. It had happened in a public event. People were trying to hold back the mother, who, in reality couldn't swim.
They were sending in the rescue team, which was the reasonable thing to do. What the mother had done, was what she had done in passion.
In the end, the victim grew up to a fine young man; without a mother.
Doing something without your brains is could cause you harm. This, is what the third rule is about.
Still, we fall prey to this rule constantly, and one of them, has the harm which comes in the way of STIs.
Good game.
The information from this book comes from the Blood of the Fold of the Swod of Truth Novel series, by Terry Goodkind.
Now, let's hope, or rather, let me hope, that I can overrule my passion of using the computer, when the reasonable thing to do is to study.
