Logic because it brings me closest to the reality I perceive and thus find my way easier.
That's been my way as well so far. I'd be interested in how logic helps you cope with questions, such as where do we come from?, where do we go?, what is our purpose?. (Not playing devil's advocate, real interest.)
I think those questions are great, but the answers will always lead to more questions. It is a journey in that regard which I suppose is logically driven. I think the best analogy is asking what is this table. It is made of wood and screws. What is wood made of…fibres. What are the fibre made of, carbon and other atoms. What was the atoms made of….etc. etc. Logic brings you closer to reality, but the closer you get, the more questions you will have which is one of the joys of life.
Not the person you're asking, but logic tells me that these questions are meaningless so no "coping" required 🤷♀️
But what is even meaningful? Or do you dont think of whats this all about? Just about your everyday life?
Unless something some day suggests "this" is "all about" anything at all, it seems weird to me to try and imagine meaning where there's no evidence of any 🤷♀️
No judgement on people who find that scary or take comfort in faith or whatever, we're all different. Just doesn't bother me.
