The need to rationalize

Approximately ninety percent of my blogs are rationalizations, approximately my entire life is a rationalization. Whenever I have a problem I use logic to rationalize a solution. Whenever something is unknown to me or nagging at my brain I WILL come up with a rational solution. At the same time that I find it necessary to rationalize everything, I believe there is no truth in life. The question remains how can I rationalize life, if life holds no truth? Where is the logical place to start if life has no truth to begin with? How can I rationalize something completely irrational. It is impossible, if I were to rationalize life I would have to base the rationalizations off of assumptions, assumptions that hold no truth. Logically speaking, all we know about life is that it happens. We do not know why. We most likely never will know why. Life just happens and people, animals, bacteria just live it, for no rational reason. Sure, we all make up these superficial reasons to be alive, things we "live for," but honestly they mean nothing and are not by any means universal. The only rational explanation for the need to live life is "because." No explanation exists, no explanation ever will exist. We are living because we are living, what we choose to do with life is a complete randomization. We are not guided by a higher power, we are not guided by some force of nation, we are guided only by some irrational craving we hold inside. If we choose to follow it, we should be led to happiness, but if we choose to ignore it, than we are not really alive at all. Either way it does not matter at all. Yeah, I just did that.
