Lailah Gifty AkitaDo not just accept anything without questioning.
About This Quote
The world is full of ideas and concepts that are absolute rubbish. Just because someone says something, especially in an authoritative way, does not make it true or right. Sometimes, when people hear things like this, they begin to accept the rubbish without questioning it. It becomes part of who they are and they feel that nothing can change them.
It’s important to question everything, even if you’re not sure what the answer is. Questioning makes you more aware so when you see something you don’t like or agree with, you can deal with it in a way that is beneficial to you.
