VOICE OR ECHO?

Are you a voice or an echo? It seems that with the vast increases in human knowledge and with the amazing inventions by which knowledge is disseminated and spread around, we're all in danger of just becoming plain parrots, the echo of someone else's opinion. From the daily news reports, movies, television, books and the Internet  come voices of other people telling us what we should think, telling us how to live or what to believe. My greatest desire for you is that you think for yourself. Take the ideas you hear, read or see, and consider them for yourself. Determine what you honestly think and even generate your own ideas. Be your own voice, not someone else's echo.
