Philosophy :mental acrobatics...!!!

a mathematician asks a philosopher "Why are we alive ?"
the philosopher replies " Because one day we all have to die !"

There is always some connotation and indentation subdued in any kind of logical representation such as "language" .Pure logic fails to illuminate such paradigms so much so that in an attempt to make it an exact and objective proposition, renders it uninteresting, and murders the scope of plurality of interpretations.The cognizance of the fact that mathematics is only the means not the end should help us not to fall victim to any kind of complacency attached with the accomplishment of a logical feat .Language (logic)is not sufficient, it's the literature (imagination ) that matters.There are greener pastures ahead and at least in this context it's quite unharmful to be able to suggest to ourselves that grass is always greener on the other side of the fence called "logic". THY NAME IS PHILOSOPHY.


Please help the author resolve the ebullient conflict (if it at all exists...!!) between logic and imagination by choosing the correct option:

a) The author of the above logically illogical lines is a staunch believer of logic. 
b)The author of the above illogically logical lines is a staunch believer of logic. 
 c)The author of the above logically illogical lines is a staunch believer of imagination. 
 d) The author of the above illogically logical lines is a staunch believer of imagination.
 e)The author has made an illogical attempt to establish the celibacy of the idea of logic from an anti perspective by patronizing the beauty of imagination. 
 f) The author has made a logical attempt to establish the celibacy of logic from an anti perspective by patronizing the beauty of imagination.

Hint(if at all the author himself is in a position to be able to suggest one...!): the beauty lies in the overwhelming bafflement with the problem and not in the attainment of the solution . Don't we celebrate Prince Hamlet's soliloquy :"To be or not to be" in William Shakespear's Classic Hamlet ?
