What sets the human race part from the zillions of other inhabitants of this planet is not the ability to find answers but our ability to pose questions. Questions that allow us, to push the limits of our existence and cognizance. Education, needless to say becomes our weapon of choice in this battle of evolution.
As kids, we start right. Ever experimenting with our surroundings, with our senses, with our perceptions and with ourselves. But gradually the compulsions of our survival catch on. We stop exploring. Instead we join the rat race of trying to earn a living, so that our next generation has enough to keep experimenting. We stop learning. Instead we start cramming books we think will help us ace the race of our careers. And thus, we stop growing.
