Why Would I Pay
Why would I pay someone
to tell me how to think?
If I can't come up with my own thoughts
and my own way of thinking,
then wouldn't I be considered
as being a stupid person?
Didn't God give us
a brain to think with?
To think for ourselves?
Or did He give us a brain
to pay someone else
to think for us?
If a professor read a book
and had written his own thesis,
on that book and he told me to read that same book and write my own thesis.
Who would that professor be, if he marked my thesis about the same exact book that he read and wrote a thesis on, just to say that I am wrong about what I had written?
What would give that professor the right to give me a failing grade, because my thesis didn't match his to a T?
Don't I have my own way of thinking?
Don't my own thoughts exist?
How does he know that his thesis that he wrote, wasn't wrong and the thesis (my thesis), that he just got finished reading and marked...wasn't right?
Why would I pay someone to do my thinking for me?
Why would I pay someone to grade me...on my own thoughts?
Would you?

You don't need a college degree to figure this one out. And you certainly don't need a college degree to come up with your own questions, that you would be able to provide answers for yourself. It doesn't matter what someone else thinks, because they have their own way of thinking. Don't their thoughts exist, just as much as yours do? Who are you to question them, about the way they think? Isn't that the reason why God gave us a brain?
