We don't think!

Did you know that in reality, we are not thinking the way we should.? We do not ask the questions we ought to! How many of us ask these questions?

Why do we need to pay tax? Someone maintains the roads we use, so it is only right we pay the road tax. Someone supplies us drinking water, so we do need to pay water tax. But why on earth do we need to pay income tax??

What exactly do we need a drivers license for? If we are behind wheels and we meet with and accident, how does it matter weather we have a license or not?

We do not ask such questions, because our minds, are conditioned to think in a particular way. Our education plays a major role in conditioning our minds. Our education system is designed in such a way, that we have to accept what we are taught without questioning. While we are encouraged to clarify doubts, we are never allowed to question what is being taught. So are we really trained to think critically? Or are we trained to accept whatever comes to us?
