Human Syntax Never Seem Logical

We like to think of ourselves as logical entities. We are able to observe and experience and from those form of interaction we can come to a conclusion on what we need to do. However, logic always escape us in the most crucial of moments. In comparison to a simple if statement in a line a code, a decision is made within a fraction of a second in comparison to how we function. Take for example,

If (objA != objB){
objA = 1;
objB = 0;
}else{
objA == objB;
}

Though this is probably not the most accurate representation of what I can think of. I'm not that great in thinking in pseudocode. Well, I am, but not when using psuedocode to compare to human experiences.

What it means if objA does not equal to objB then they are different, they do not equal each other.

Take a human scenario of, if one is not happy with another what would the most logical thing to do, be? Simple, interaction with the other party is therefore minimize. However, humans also have the ability to fix issues internally without external syntax being added. However, if there is no solution what would be the next logical step be? Simple, you refer back to the first option you already have.

I've been exposed to a couple scenarios of such in the last couple of weeks. Human logic fails us at the most crucial moments in our life. Solutions in life are simple, we tend to make it hard for ourselves.
