'"Blossoms of the honey-sweet and honey-coloured menuphar" - I always have a quotation for everything - it saves original thinking.'

Original Thinking Isn’t Lost—It’s Avoided

I see it in classrooms. But it doesn’t stop there.

There’s a quiet shift happening— a hesitation to think independently, a tendency to follow what’s already been done, a comfort in repeating instead of creating.

And it’s not confined to education.

It shows up in how we learn. In how we work. In what we share. In what we choose to believe.

Original thinking asks something of us. Effort. Risk. Uncertainty.

It asks us to stand on our own ideas before anyone else affirms them.

And too often, that’s the very step people avoid.

So the question isn’t just for students— it’s for all of us:

Are we thinking— or are we just repeating?
