People who have lost the ability to question become a prisoner of other ideas. They do not produce a single idea all their lives, they are always the defenders or slaves of other ideas. The ability to distinguish right from wrong is slowly lost.
They see the advice, information, or order given to them as if they were the only truth and reality, without filtering any questioning, scrutiny, or examination.
They are so lazy that they do not bother to research and waste their time. This sometimes reaches the dimensions of "partisanship" in political matters, "fanaticism" in sports, "nationalism" in country matters, and "hostility" in religious matters, and reaches to the harm of second and third parties.
Although they sometimes call it "critical perspective", their ability to criticize has completely disappeared. They stay in the same point of view only by targeting individuals, institutions or non-governmental organizations with certain ideas and ideological structures that they think are against them.
Instead of turning their heads and looking in all directions, they are limited to only the places shown to them. They become people who wear a kind of "blind glasses". They cannot escape from the bondage of thought. They are not aware of their weaknesses. They do not realize that they are being used. They never live for themselves, they serve a particular structure.
According to them, there should be a monotonous way of life and the same view is constantly being defended. Everything good belongs to them, they created it. The bad ones are always the responsibility of others. They never take responsibility, even if you do, they avoid responsibility. They do not know how to do any job, but they do not lack criticism.
Although such people are mostly seen in people with a low level of education, it is also possible to come across people with a high level of education. Somewhere they work for the interests of others, they serve them, but they never realize it. They do not have a life of their own. Their bodies and ideas are rent. They are like militants ready to do anything as soon as they are paid.
Thought is a dangerous weapon that is difficult to imprison and block. When used correctly, States have established and destroyed throughout history. That's why the struggle for "freedom of thought" is made with people whose minds are in captivity. This struggle is done by exerting more pressure and forcing either silence or neutrality.
All you have to do for this is to come up with an idea and reach the masses that will support and defend it. You will not have any difficulties as there will be such a multitude of people in the world. The act of using someone else to live is just for them. They are the types of people most used by terrorist groups in the world. Sometimes they are illegal and unfortunately sometimes they become the toys of legality. This is how the system has worked from past to present.
Thank you for reading. Let's share and respect our ideas for a colorful world. Freedom in every sense is the greatest wealth we can have.
Thinking is superior to Knowledge. The things you read are just words in your mind but the things you learn by a lot of questioning you can call them real Learning. Real learners develop their own ideas and map their planing for their target. We should not prisnor of ideas as you mentioned, we should king of our own ideas.
