<<Now I know why you are so defensive. You are a teacher. I never saw myself as a teacher, so much as a student. Take Einstein e.g. He thought about physics 24/7. He would be the first to tell you: "I am a student". That is how he approached life. He hated teaching. He just wanted to learn. So do I. His mind was always working on a problem. He thought about light for many years. What is this thing light he wondered? Then one day he realized that if light always, no matter what moves at 186,000 miles per second and one puts it into an equation where matter is increasing in velocity the only variable that could change was time. How huge was that? No one was thinking of time as a thing. But if matter increases in velocity, and light is to remain at 186,000 miles per second, time had to slow. He liked the simple life of thought and aesthetics, like a boat ride on a sunny day or laughing with friends. He liked the ladies too-lol. And they liked him. There is a universe out there to understand. I am curious but unfortunately limited by a very average mind, but still I must try to understand as much as I can, and have the same compulsion to understand as Einstein or Lewis and Clark wondering what is over the next mountain. They asked Einstein: "what is the most important subject to teach and he said history. I agee. And he said he wanted to kow the mind of god. So do I and my time is short now, so I need to learn what I can.
