Without being an independent individual, without having an independent mind, you become nothing more than a trivial slave or an obscure shadow!

About This Quote

Without being an independent individual, without having an independent mind, you become nothing more than a trivial slave or an obscure shadow! This quote is about the importance of having the ability to think for yourself. Being able to think for yourself means no one can tell you what to do. It means you are free to make your own choices and do what you like. Sometimes people are too scared of making their own decisions or do not want to be on their own.

They just want someone to tell them what to do. They want someone else to tell them who they should be with, who they should marry, and what they should believe in. The truth is that everyone has the ability to think for themselves without needing someone else to tell them what to do.

Your decisions will be based on your own values and beliefs, not on what others think is best for you.
