I think today's society is collapsing into a depression of the mind. People try to avoid using their minds, at all costs. My friends, in a very prestigious private school, are more at ease to add up 29 and 43, using a calculator which they will have to travel to get in an adjacent room, than just doing the [really] simple math, using their heads. When I offer my friends ideas to think about, like, why a cow is holy, they answer with, "It just is." For me, it proves that she really doesn't know why, and that she has a "lazy" mind. What I mean by that term, is that, my friend, never actually stopped to think about why things happen, and that they just happen, which made her brain lose reasoning skills, and logic, which is a negative affect. She will, probably for the rest of her life...
