The thinking mind is one of those abilities that’s easily taken for granted. It’s always available, and yet so quickly put on reserve.
This automated world we live in, of microwaves, drive-thru’s, and prescription drugs, leaves little need for a thinking mind. And yet, we need it now more than ever ….
Case in point : Where does a person stand -outside of her family views, outside of her friends’ views? What is her opinion? Or, need she even have an opinion if she has no power, wealth, or fame? Who would care? And why should they? So why should she?
There’s a really good chance that no one would care …but where does that leave her?
Opinions, beliefs, convictions define who we are as individuals. Without them, we’re left to be defined by somebody else. Be he powerful, or wealthy, or famous ….
But does he know her? Can he speak for her?
Can he “think” for her?
