Imo, things can affect logic, like mood, nutrition, health, how much people have happening at once. So yes, I like to think I'm fairly logical, certainly a lot less emotional as I age. But I'm not wedded to it, because I have faith I'll wake up tomorrow, but know there's a possibility I won't. That seems logical.
You might be thinking of a personal definition of logic. Mood, nutrition, and health can affect a person's ability to use logic, it does not affect logic itself. Having faith that you'll wake up tomorrow and understanding there is a possibility you won't is not an example of logic, that is an example of understanding mortality.
