Thought of the Day

"I believe in spectacles, but I think eyes are necessary too"
-John Stuart Mill

There are so many things in this world, so much technology, that we tend to become reliant upon it. These things are all fine and dandy, don't get me wrong! I love things that make life easier. But we have to remember that some things are better done on our own. Things that are meant to improve cannot do their job unless we are willing to use what they are acting upon in the first place. Those things that are meant to help us cannot do so unless we are pulling our weight. Yes, glasses are wonderful, and they help us see better, but they don't create sight in the first place. That is something we must do for ourselves.

Point is, effort. We must not forget that we are human, that we are capable of great things, and that sometimes it is up to us to do those great things without the crutch of nifty gadgets.
