Recently I’m realizing that I need a lot of time to just thing for myself. If I’m not careful I just read a bunch of stuff, and then I just regurgitate it as if it’s my viewpoint. And honestly that’s fine, if that’s your thing. But I honestly am more interested in perspectives but I’ve been thought through and kneaded like a dough over and over. 

I think we live in an age where everyone wants everything in an instant, and opinions of others are wanted constantly. But screw that, take your time and knead your dough is what I say. Don’t let others tell you otherwise. Your dough is precious - you don’t have to let others think for you all the time.

I have the perfect Schopenhauer quote for you.

"When we read someone else thinks for us: we just repeat the mental process."

He also warned that it's important to retain the ability to think for oneself and not just reiterate what others wrote. 

Probably why he also opined one can give the brain too much nourishment. If too much time is spend on just reading other people's opinions there's too little to reflect.
