A Man u Think.

A man must use his own judgment.
He must think bis own thoughts. He
must believe his own convictions, let
them jostle whom they may. There
are ideas which are in the air. They
settle down upon us like smuts in a
manufacturing town. They settle upon
US In the subway and on the streets.
We find 1t difficult to brush them of
u minds. and they grow bigger and
stronger and dominate us.
We think we hold opinions when, as
a matter Of fact. they hold us. And
this would be Of the less consequence
II they were our own opinions. But
they are not. And they are not the
opinions Of II friends either. They
have not been made in the sense in
which n builds a conviction or
shapes a life. And the trouble is that
we think we are thinking when we are
only obeying the orders Of the opinions
which have taken possession Of u.s.
