The reasonable term is a qualifying adjective that can be applied to people, situations or particular acts. The idea of reasonable precisely implies the use of reason as the first action and that is why a reasonable act or person will be those that are carried out logically, with the use of reason. Many times, the reasonableness position, that is, the use of reason, leaves aside the emotionality or the set of feelings that one can feel in specific circumstances.
The reason is one of the few characteristics that differentiate the human being from the rest of the living beings. The reason is nothing more than the use of intelligence at an abstract level that allows man to understand phenomena or situations beyond his physical or somatic sensations. Reason is opposed, therefore, to emotion, to sensation, to instinct, to the compulsive.
This makes us see that if reason is opposed to the instinctive or emotional, it will mean that it is based on an understanding or logical way of acting that goes beyond immediacy. Being reasonable is using reason, getting out of that space of sensations to try to understand abstractly what is happening.
Normally, the term reasonable is used in situations in which a person acts appropriately according to social parameters. For example, it is reasonable that if one person needs help, another will give it to them. It is reasonable that if one wants to get a good job position, he must train and prepare for it. It is reasonable that killing or harming a person is not a good thing. The lack of rationality causes people to lose specifically what differentiates us from animals and to recover their state of savage or the impossibility of abstracting from the environment that surrounds us.
