Shall we go to a movie? wait, let me check the reviews. What should I read next? wait, let me see the reviews. Is the restaurant good? wait, let me see the reviews.
I don’t know when was the last time I did something without first googling to check if anyone had anything to say on it. And, we all know thanks to Google, that everything that crosses our mind has already been done by someone. We are bound to find a ‘how to do this best’ kind of article on everything under the sun. So, why think, when someone has already thought for us? What is the natural extension of this behavior? of seeking out feedback from someone almost all the time? We end up seeking validation for our every move, for our very existence.
