cliches

After talking in class about cliches, I thought about this exaggeration a little more. Have we become too lazy as human beings to come up with our own thoughts, ideas, or concepts? Must we really dumb ourselves down so much as to use another person's words that came about who knows when? After thinking about this for a few minutes, I realized that the answer is yes. We have become a lazy race of living beings, but the cliches most commonly used often fit what we are saying to a T.
