A lot of times people tell you that "overthinking" is bad. And there is not much you can do by thinking too much. But there also exist a condition. That where people tend to leave the thinking to other people. Which is also extremely bad. Like say if you rely too much on your kids you would be dependent on them. If you rely too much on parents you would end up in more bad position in life. So overthinking may be bad. But not thinking about your own self can be even more worst. And so you have to make changes to your life in such a way that you make choices the right way. That's how most people have excuse of "govt should do it". Never rely on others for the thinking part. Think for your own self too.
