Free thinking
Engr. Mohammad Ariful Islam Ramdebpur, Tangail
I wrote a piece "Role of Intellectuals" in DS last year (12/10/04), where I mentioned the role of Rousseau in the making of French Revolution and so on. Now, I want to express my opinion on the importance of free thinking. Many writers and poets have written on the topic. The fact is that there're two types of people in our society. One follows the commands, and the other follows self-inspiration, i.e. thinks freely. I support the latter. For every innovation, thinking in a free way is obligatory. Those who feel a bit in the core of their hearts for creation/innovation realise that human beings are not an inanimate object ; rather soul is above the flesh and blood. But free thinking in our context is greatly inhibited by a host of factors.
