"我々は進んで真剣に考える人々を滅多に見つけない。簡単な答えや中途半端な解決策を求めることはほとんど普遍的だ。思考することほど一部の人々を苦しめることはない。"
— Martin Luther King Jr.

Simplified Meaning:
Most people don't like to spend a lot of time thinking deeply about difficult problems. They prefer quick and simple answers, even if those answers aren't very good or don't really solve the problem. This happens because deep thinking takes a lot of effort and can be uncomfortable. For example, when students are given a tough math problem, many might look for shortcuts or ask someone else for the answer instead of working through it themselves. In life, it's important to put in the effort to think things through, because the easy way out often doesn't lead to the best results. By challenging ourselves to engage in solid thinking, we can find better solutions and make more informed decisions.
