>Only when we realize that there is no eternal, unchanging truth
or absolute truth can we arouse in ourselves a sense of
intellectual responsibility.<
I love this quote. THIS is why I think people need to be educated- because the more you learn, the more you see how much there is to know, and how many differences there are- between people, between cultures, between ages, between religions, between philosophies. I think you need to be educated NOT to know, but to know what you do NOT know, and to figure out that some things might be unknowable, and that's ok. Or they might not be, and that's ok too.
(and for the folks out there resistant to actually reading my posts I DO NOT ONLY MEAN FORMALLY EDUCATED, I DO NOT MEAN ONLY FORMALLY EDUCATED, I DO NOT MEAN ONLY FORMALLY EDUCATED, I DU NOT MEEN KOLEDGE EDUUCATED) |
