Just A Thought ~ THE BLESSINGS OF EDUCATION

"Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance."

~ Will Durant, 1885 - 1981, American Historian ~

Have we not come a long way? So many superstitions and dogmas have been exposed and debunked, proportionately freeing us. We might have gone on believing that the Universe and everything in it was created in six days just over 4,000 years ago, and that the planet upon which we live was the center of that Universe. We might still be living under the illusion that our Earth was flat, and that if we sailed too far over the ocean, we would fall off the edge. We might still believe that disease is caused by demons, and any number of other preposterous things. The process of discovery goes on, and it's exciting. We cannot afford to make up our minds and arrive at final conclusions. Better to acknowledge our ignorance and say, "I don't know".
