Summary

This quote suggests that individuals are naturally born with a lack of knowledge or ignorance, rather than being inherently unintelligent. However, it argues that it is education or the process of schooling that often hampers one's intellectual growth, fostering stupidity instead. It implies that institutional structures and traditional methods of education tend to limit critical thinking and creativity, potentially hindering individuals from reaching their full potential. The quote highlights the importance of a progressive, innovative education system that encourages independent thinking and nurtures intelligence rather than suppressing it.

Your beloved and your friends were once strangers. Somehow at a particular time, they came from the distance toward your life. Their arrival seemed so accidental and contingent. Now your life is unimaginable without them. Similarly, your identity and vision are composed of a certain constellation of ideas and feelings that surfaced from the depths of the distance within you. To lose these now would be to lose yourself.
