Parroting

Parrots repeat what you are saying mechanically without much thought.

People, on the other hand, believe we are separate from parrots because of our brains.

But what we learn is that more often than not, we are echoes of everyone that has come before us.

We are not as original thought thinkers as we think.

Instead, we must be cognizant of the words we choose.

Are we saying something because we actually believe it or are we saying things that people want to hear?
