When I was young, the principal said on stage, "Manure is the best fertilizer for crops." All the teachers and students nodded in agreement. I couldn't help but say directly, "But it smells so bad." As a result, I was punished to stand for the whole morning. Later, I realized: many people don't lack the ability to think, but from a young age, they are trained not to question collective narratives, not to express different feelings, not to be different from others. So gradually, everyone becomes accustomed to repeating consensus, but dares not speak the truth. Many people are afraid not of making mistakes, but of being "not fitting in."
