in desiring holiness, logic, syllogisms, thirsting for God 81 Words

Logically Speaking, of course

Yesterday I taught my seniors about conditional and disjunctive syllogisms.  It was basic logic and easy enough for them to grasp.  Perusing some of the syllogisms that they wrote as an assignment caused me to think of a couple of my own. 

If I desire holiness, then I will be uncomfortable.
I desire holiness.
Therefore, I will be uncomfortable.
OR
Either I will be pursuing a life of virtue and holiness
Or I will not be pursuing a life of virtue and holiness.
