For many human beings it's much easier to believe what they hear others say, or to accept what others tell them to be the truth. Belief is a very interesting characteristic of our species. Other living creatures only 'know' what they perceive with their senses. They are not bothered about what they don't 'feel', so they instinctively deal with any happening without complications or worries. For people the situation is different because they need a reason to accept as true something that is not self-evident. Therefore they have two possible ways: either use their own minds, or follow someone else's. Which one is easier? Clearly the second option is more enticing, because it does not require any effort on their part. (You affirm that this is the truth? Thanks, I happily buy it!) The first option, on the other hand, compels you to ponder, weigh up, reflect, compare...In one word, you have to put on your thinking cap and work it out for yourself. It's team sloths vs team busy bees!
