In our society, confidence leads to knowledge - which leads to power - which leads to pride - which leads to a fear of seeming ignorant - which constricts learning like an iron vice.  We must understand that confidence is a blessing, for it is the embodiment of self-love, and through it we find the fuel for innovation and progress.  We must realize that ignorance is merely the opportunity to learn more.  And lastly, we must marvel rather than groan at the fact that there will always be more to learn...
Only then will we be free of the intellectual prisons we have so readily caged ourselves within.

I never much liked the concept of inflexible structure in a system.  It always made my skin crawl.  I always felt like it suggested the ommittance of something rather important.
I've finaly realized that the missing "something" is the basis for all existence.

If thinking is existing, then knowing is creating, and creativity is a desperate grasp at something far beyond the confines of our simplistic reality.
