The text below are just my random thoughts (with an April 2026 update), but as I age, and get wisdom, I happened to reread the below, and am quite impressed with what I had written some 12 to 13 years ago.
1. Religion
Faith will always trump logic, but then God works and behaves in mysterious ways.
Religion will always have their followers, so I will not even want to tread there.
2. Consumer behaviour

This again is very hard to predict. Crazy unexpected queues for
non-sensical soft toys like Hello Kitty and the Minions in Singapore lead me to believe that
there is no hope for humanity. Maybe its just Singaporeans who have illogical bouts of
collective behaviour ! I certainly doubt it (Apr 2026 edit)
The fact that it was touted as a limited edition, and reports of people throwing their junk
food away so that they could qualify to buy the Hello Kitty.

Actually that is quite a logical act, but the purchase of McDonalds food just to
get their hands on a soft toy is an illogical act in itself.
Nothing better to do than to queue for my Hello Kitty

3. Impulse Purchases
Branded Bags, Holiday feel good shopping, Fridge Magnets,
Crummy T-shirts telling everyone where you've been, the list is endless. Everyone has
that (or many) shirts or dresses in their wardrobe which has been hanging there and the
guy or girl is wondering, 'now why did I buy THAT ???'.
Cranky Old Men and Women

Logic does not have a linear correlation with age, in fact, sometimes the older we get, the crankier or eccentric we become. that is when we become 'one screw loose' or 'lose our marbles' or 'Woodbridge' (mental hospital's previous name) case. The 60s are a very draining, as well as physically and mentally challenging decade.
Why ? You think you are still in your 40s, have the wisdom of the 6 decades in life BUT can't seem to act out or perform at your best. Hence small delays ingratiate you, stupid or inexperienced people irritate you, and crowded places with young kids make your blood curl.
Common sense or logic is not so common then after all ?
Think every moment, use your brain 100% of the day if you can

Cherish the logic you (and I) have. For that separates the normal from the truly brilliant. Go beyond that and people may call you Mad. Normal people want to follow rules and regulations so that they do not have to apply logic or brain effort to think deeply to the situation.
That applies to 99.9% of the population.
'Just Follow Law' ?
No.
There must be the thought which goes through enacting the law and satisfies right thinking citizens.
Seize the Day.
