You Need to Start Thinking about Yourself, for Once

Book excerpt: Critical thinking and logical reasoning seem to be a thing of the past. A lot in the new generation will follow the latest trend on social media, mindlessly, regardless of how stupid they are, with some to the point of insanity. The fear of losing out and being looked down upon is so great that some will go to great lengths to blend in with their peers, even if their actions will bring dire consequences to their own lives, or those around them. We became machines made from flesh and blood, losing the ability, or better, choosing not to think about what we want in life, what is our purpose here, and how we want to live our life meaningfully during our short stay in this world. Perhaps it is time for us to start thinking for ourselves, for once.
