Quotes / Absence of Mind (Analysis)

Good work. I sense a hint of pessimism in the quote in that it is conveying that society is a force that controls those who are not free to think for themselves. I fully agree with this ideal because social convention is very much instilled on  the American culture (I use American because I live in the States and is the only culture I’ve known since a child) and it makes it easier for one to succumb to it if one is dead behind the eyes. They simply go with what they are told because their minds are absent of any kind of self awareness toward believing personal perceptions. Very powerful, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your comment.
What you said is just what I was trying to get at. It’s not that much different in UK either believe it or not. It may be a little more harsh in the States but it’s a similar story where I am. I guess it’s mostly a global issue.
Thanks again for your comment.

This is good, its makes sense because its true if you dont think for yourself then you will be led down the most common path. Good work

Excellent. People who do not think for themselves let others do the thinking for them. I love it.

This is an amazing quote. It is clean and simple, yet beautifully profound.

Smart, and most likely very true.

It’s very thought provoking. However, the sentiment seems cliche.
