Do not assume that order and stability are always good, in a society or in a universe. The old, the ossified, must always give way to new life and the birth of new things. Before the new things can be born the old must perish. This is a dangerous realization, because it tells us that we must eventually part with much of what is familiar to us. And that hurts.

And it is the authentic human being who matters most, the viable, elastic organism which can bounce back, absorb, and deal with the new.

That education which ignores man's intrinsic nature, and neglects his intellect and reasoning power can not be considered true education.

We will then look elsewhere for fulfillment, to a place where our needs can, in fact, be satisfied.
