Today I attended a seminar on Thinking and it really got me thinking!
We as normal beings going about our day to day mundane life and forget about consciously thinking! We become robot-like in our existence and do not question the norm.
The points that were raised today were: what are norms? Who sets them? Who follows them and why?
When we applied mind to the matter at hand, we realised that norms are determined by mediocre/ average people who are lazy and incompetent to handle change! And imagine most of us tread the path etched by such people! What a Shame I say!
The radicals or the thinkers are a rare creed in the society. These are the people who struggled to give us a better present to live in. Galileo, Newton and Copernicus are just a few names I take here.
Thinking is good. It sets us free from following the crowd. It awakens reasoning and independent decision taking in us.
If there are no risk-takers, then there would be no trail-blazers. Thence, we shall have no progress in our society.
So people go out there question the norms, break the superfluous rules and set a new trend!
Live like AWAKENED HUMANS!
