Illogically Speaking ...

Logic is indispensable, but it can also be an impediment to our understanding.

Sometimes 1+1=1.
Yin + yang = yin/yang. Light + dark = contrast. Healthy + harmful = nutrition. Up + down = elevation. Good + evil = morality.

It doesn't always have to be this or that. It can also be this and that.
Good & bad. Strong & supple. Aggressive & tender. Energetic & calm. Self & not-self.

There are occasions when you really can't get there from here.
Expressions like, “flash of insight”, “stroke of genius” and “leap of understanding” exist for a reason. We frequently need to forgo the linear path, discard our preconceptions and open ourselves up to receiving gifts from beyond our reasoning.

Sound logical?
