Q2: . “Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why so great a portion of mankind, after nature has long since discharged them from external direction, remains under, and why it is so easy for others to set themselves up as their guardians…If I have a book which understands for me, a pastor who has a conscience for me, a physician who decides my diet, and so forth, I need not trouble myself. I need not think, if I can only pay – others will easily undertake the irksome work for me.” Immanuel Kant, An Answer to the Question: What Is Enlightenment? Q2- Do you agree that laziness and cowardice explain why people do not seek personal autonomy?

I need you to answer Q2 based on something I have experienced myself

like I study abroad in Canada so my family paid everything for me but I have fear that I will not finish the university And I will go back home with nothing so people will say bad things about me so I changed my major to an easy major so I can have my degree I did not care about myself I let the fear and laziness come over me.
