Words for Gen Z living in today's social media society.
If you stop at "I get it!", your thinking hasn't even begun.
True understanding only begins when a question remains within you.
You see someone's words and empathize, saying "Exactly" or "For real."
That moment certainly feels good, and it's reassuring, isn't it?
But if you're satisfied with just that, is there any "time to think" left within you?

In today's social media society,
"Easy answers" flow by in seconds.
If you look at them, you can feel like you "understand" somehow,
and if the tone is strong, it can look "plausibly correct."
But you know, while knowledge can be searched, thinking cannot be downloaded.
No matter how quickly you obtain information,
to be able to hold it as "your own thought,"
you still need time, struggle, and "questions."
—
Having your own opinion is
not about "debunking someone" or "gathering agreement."
Rather,
"Could it be that I am wrong?"
People who can properly face that kind of anxiety are much stronger.

In your head,
does the "habit of thinking" still remain?
