When we think about logical thinking, we normally think about things that are obvious and well known by everyone, such as the sky being blue and the sun rising. However, how did we conclude that these things are the absolute truth? How do we know that everyday the sun will rise or that the next day the sky will be blue?

If I were to go and ask someone, "Will the sun rise tomorrow?", the person will say yes. If I asked, "How?", the answer will also be simple and explainable, but when I ask, "Why?", the person will not know. They will answer that it is logical to think that the sun will rise, for it has risen everyday and will rise tomorrow. But, how do we really know the sun will rise tomorrow? Just because it rose today, it does not mean that it will rise tomorrow, but we know it to be true through logical thinking. The question that is prosed is, "How did we conclude this logical thinking that the sun will rise tomorrow?"

It seems that most logical reasoning is concluded by these events happening over and over again. Let's consider the sun example again. The example in which we have stated and concluded that the sun will rise tomorrow, without considering any disastrous and unlucky event that were to happen to the sun. It is logical to say this because from this point and from the points before this, the sun has always risen and will always rise. Using this thinking, it can be concluded that the more times something happens, it increases the probability that the same thing will happen the next time. Every day that the sun rises, every day the probability of it rising tomorrow is increased. Since the sun has risen so many times, we can say that the probability of it rising tomorrow is very very very high.

So now that we have considered what it is to be logical, how can we determine what logical thinking is? Well, if something that is logical means that something happens over and over again, then logical thinking should be the observation of something happening over and over again. For example, someone who thinks logically thinks that the sun rises everyday. However, does this conclude that everyone is capable of logical thinking? And if they are not, then can we still claim it to be logical thinking?

When someones states, "Think logically" we normally take it as think about something that is widely known and that everyone knows. However, take this in consideration; there is a child born in a facility with no windows and completely underground. Let us assume it is a girl. The area around this child is filled with supportive equipment and food from the above ground. Her parents and her doctor do not tell her about a sun that is up above, or that there is anything beyond what is the underground facility. If this girl does not know of the sun or that is rises everyday, can we conclude that the sun rising is logical thinking?

Thinking about this, can we at all think that thinking about anything is logical thinking? Or should we say that people that do not know anything that is logical are non-logical? Or does logic even exist? We as people have thought of and stated what is logical, it is a human idea, but is it true, or even real? If there are situations in which logical thinking does not exist, then we can conclude that the statement of being logical does not exist, and is solely based upon the environment one lives in.
