Can people think independently?

Philosophy is the whole of our thoughts that have brought us to the present. Since ancient times, people have been asking questions and looking for answers on many topics. I think every person can philosophize because every person can think. Of course, not everyone can do a free philosophy, everyone is dependent on dogmas such as religion and these dogmas prevent us. Of course, religions had to exist somehow. But it is a fact that religions are preventing many people from thinking freely. There are many other factors, not just religion. For example, ideologies. People now choose any existing ideology instead of thinking. They just read a few articles about ideology and that's it. Another example is technology. Yes, the technology is very useful and perfect for saving time. But will we, who don't even want to read books anymore, prevent other people from thinking for us in the future? Maybe because robots will do everything, the people of the future will be the robots of today and we, the people of today, will be the robots of the future? Even now other people are thinking and doing for us. So is there any point in living?

"Blindness Essay"

Yesterday I finished a book called "Blindness". The book is so impressive that I still think about it. The author is incredibly critical of the system. The book begins with a man suddenly shouting "I've gone blind" in traffic. The man has been blind, but this blindness is different from the others.The man begins to see white everywhere. The author writes in the book, "It's like falling into a pool of milk."  This blindness spreads to everyone.The government finds the solution to this disease, which infects many people, by sending people to a mental hospital building.There is one person among these people, and the whole story is based on her. She is the only one who sees among the blind.  The author did not write the name of any character in his book. He introduced the characters with certain features. And this non-blind woman is also called the "doctor's wife" A lot of amazing things happen in the book. I would love to write them all.

...will be...

I've been planning to do a big book shopping for the last month. Of course, I know which books to buy in my mind, but this event is still very complicated. I have a small budget, but I have a lot of books to buy.The books I will buy are very diverse.I will buy philosophy books in general and I want novels as well. My budget is only enough for 15 books. I'd better show my philosophy teacher the philosophy books I'm going to buy. I hope she will help me make the right choices. I'll be ordering those books this time on Monday. My current guitar is very old. I've been improving my guitar playing lately and it's time for me to get a more professional guitar. But there is something noticeable; my budget is not enough for this. How about if I ask my father for help? Will he help me? I believe he will. They are going to buy a new house according to the current news in the house. It doesn't make sense. It's winter and moving house will be a torture. I cannot pers

Books Taht Fascinate Me - 2

...  5-) One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel García Márquez   This book is the first latin literature book I have read.There are so many names in it. I was very confused while reading it. But the family tree at the beginning of the book was very helpful.The author mixed fantasy with reality. I thought of fantasies as real while reading the book. As if there was nothing wrong. It was the end of the book that impressed me the most.The grandchild born centuries later revealed all the secrets and the life of the whole village changed. 6-) Kusamakura - Natsume Sōseki In the book, the author wrote about the journey of an artist who is looking for himself to the mountains. The main character experienced philosophical events in the villages. As a result of these events, he thought a lot about himself and questioned everything.
