About this Quote

This quote by Alfred Korzybski suggests that there are 2 paths we can take in life to make it simpler for ourselves. We can either choose to think whatever we hear or to doubt everything we hear. Both of these paths can save us from having to believe for ourselves and make decisions. This quote suggests that it is much easier to take the path of least resistance and not think for ourselves. However, this can lead to a lack of important thinking and a failure to make informed decisions. It is essential to discover a balance between believing and doubting, and to believe for ourselves in order to make the best choices. We need to not be afraid to question what we hear and think for ourselves in order to make the best choices for our lives.
