The most common mistake people make is not ignorance, but believing they have mastered the correct without truly thinking carefully; it's not being constrained by reality, but gradually losing the ability to doubt through long-term obedience.


Many people live just by repeating the meaning prescribed by others: what to say, what to believe, how to succeed, how to fit in, so empty words become truth, blind obedience becomes maturity, silence becomes wisdom.
Over time, people stop asking "why," leaving only the performance of the correct posture.
But what is truly worth warning against is never poverty or ordinariness, but spiritual numbness.
If a person loses independent thinking, they will only become better at obedience, but increasingly less like themselves.
Therefore, living should not only be about survival and reality, but also about retaining a bit of freedom, fun, and a spirit of doubt;
being able to judge the world with one's own mind, remaining clear-headed amid absurdity and noise, rather than willingly becoming the silent majority.
