Zen & Logic

I have had a challenging life and in the process, I built a very powerful logical framework around myself. This logical framework is so tight, it super protects me at all times and I only function from logic, 100%, and would know if I am breaking my logic to be a "human". But everything is like a computer, everything logged, measured, evaluated, even the tiniest of the things. Every thought, habit, activity.

I wanted to attain states of flow in life to work better, but that needs to go beyond logic to do that, the prefrontal cortex.

I understand logic is a limited function of human mind, and there are things like intuition and better ways to live by than being tied down to logic, as life does not function by logic.

With logic, I can build and create any perspectives, anything that makes me do what I need to do. Without it, I feel lost.

With Zen, do you propose I let go of logic, or hold on to it? Logic has become an obsession and attachment in the process. I cannot even look at love without logic. I cannot love all humans for I don't see a logic in it, makes me very self-centered.

What is your take on logic? Keep it, or break it, or use it as needed?
