"La ortodoxia significa no pensar no necesitar pensar. La ortodoxia es inconsciencia."
— George Orwell
Simplified Meaning:
When we always follow traditional beliefs or rules without questioning them, we stop using our own minds to think about whether they are right or wrong. For example, if everyone in a community believes that a certain way of life is the only correct way, people may follow it blindly just because it's accepted by everyone. They don't feel the need to think about it because it's already an established norm. In this way, people become like robots, doing things automatically without considering other possibilities or making their own decisions. To live fully and authentically, it's important to think for ourselves and question things instead of just accepting them as they are. By doing this, we stay aware and engaged, rather than becoming mentally lazy and detached.
