"Teaching people to think for themselves" is a noble and important goal that promotes intellectual independence and critical thinking.
In my opinion, this allows the development of intellectual independence, and independent thinking enables individuals to develop their own worldview based on experiences, knowledge, and personal reflections. This fosters a sense of autonomy and authenticity in shaping opinions.

Thinking for yourself is key to flying from the eagles nest. I've seen parents hinder independent thinking and the results were not good. They were dependent on their parent and had a hard time standing on their own two feet. Learning to think for yourself is a essential element of life.

Absolutely, thinking for oneself is like spreading wings and taking flight from the eagles' nest. Encouraging independent thinking is crucial for personal growth and resilience. When individuals are hindered from developing this skill, they might face challenges in standing on their own feet and making decisions.
Parents play a vital role in fostering independent thinking by allowing room for exploration and decision-making. When individuals learn to think for themselves, they become better equipped to navigate life's complexities and make choices aligned with their values. This process is an essential element of life, contributing to personal autonomy and the ability to face challenges with confidence.

We have to think for ourselves which we are not allowed by the World to do so. If we think for ourselves there won't be slaves anymore in this world.

Your reflection touches upon the importance of independent thinking and the potential for empowerment it carries. Encouraging individuals to think for themselves fosters a sense of autonomy and can contribute to a more informed and conscious society. Indeed, critical thinking is a powerful tool for challenging societal norms and fostering positive change.
