I am already tired and it is only Tuesday. I think it is because so many people do not think for themselves anymore. Today it seems that people lack common sense and are just trained monkeys.
"Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done"... Harriet Beecher Stowe
I cannot tell you how many times someone asks a question that they have the same exact resources as I do, to find out the answer, yet I am the one giving it to them. I try to show them where it is, but they do not care. Are they a trained monkey, or selfish and think their time is more important than mine, or just really that dumb/lazy? It seems more and more, like parents do so much for their kids, that the kids are never taught to figure things out for themselves. Sure you can cook dinner faster/shop/pick up the house/pay bills/etc. without the kids, but teaching them makes them productive adults. They grow up being trained monkeys. Instead of realizing they can do things themselves, they like to be told what to do. These of course are the same people who bring only complaints and no solutions. We are raising a bunch of trained monkeys. It is sad, very sad. I hope if I have kids one day that I will not raise trained monkeys but productive members of society!
Today try, figuring out something yourself, even if it is diffcult, as the answer, is probably right in front of your face, you just have to look for it.
