Two heads are not always better than one There is a saying, two heads are better than one, referring that we can make things easier and better through working with more people. However, I don’t think that is absolutely right. My reasons are as follows: First of all, more people always means more conflicts. When we were still in childhood, we heard many stories. One of them told about “one boy is a boy, two boys half boy, three boys no boy”. In the beginning of the story, there was only one monk living in the temple and he carried water in the flesh everyday. Then another monk came, they could carried water together. But they usually quarreled with each other, for both of them wanted to save effort by putting the bottle slid to the other side. When the third monk came, neither of them wanted to carried water. They were thirsty and nearly ruined the temple because of a sudden fire and no water to put it out . Furthermore, a wrong idea held by majority may cover up the truth. In the democracy society, we are used to follow the trend without our own thinking or critical abilities. But the truth often lies in the hands of a few. Too many people with too many different ideas may lead the decision in the wrong direction. In conclusion, two heads are not always better than one. Each person should cultivate the competence in thinking independently.
