Default The great paradox of logic

I want to know if any one else out there has had similar lines of thought.

Logic to me seems like the greatest of paradoxes. We use logic to prove a point and then we use logic to disprove the same point that we first proved with logic. People argue topics all the time using logic. But using the rules of logic both an argument and a counter argument can be proven to be true. It seems to me that the context and wording of a statement is more important to determining if something is true or false than the truth or falsity of the statement. Something worded one way can be proved to be false but the exact same idea worded another way can be proven true. For every argument there is a counter argument and both sides may be right at the same time. Logic seems to me to have validity only within the framework of human perception and different people perceive the same things in different ways and only the arrogant would say one person is right and the other wrong. None of us know the truth. Outside of the human mind things simply are. There is no truth there is not falsity. Things simply exist. We spend infinite amounts of time trying to rationalize this or explain that. To my mind all logic seems to be is rationalization. Endless rationalization for the things we choose to believe and want to convince others to believe too.

And here is the great paradox. The entire paragraph above can be comprehended with our reason and understood by most to mean the same thing and it used logic and reasoning to communicate the ideas. Yet the entire paragraph is about the flaws of logic and reasoning. It is maddening. We can't be sure of anything. At a certain point logic starts to break down. But yet everything we think is built in the framework of reason.
