Education

"Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity."
Aristotle


In the best of times, in the worst of times, knowledge shines brighter than it's environment.


The most beautiful gift to a human-being is educational independence; someone who will take the effort to cure his curiosity through a book, a teacher, or a friend; it is an endless gift that will forever leave us eager for more.  In our compassionate world we live in, we continuously surge to provide a basic education to all eager eyes to the darkest corners in the world, just so we can give a people the opportunity to become independent in their existence, to strive to answer their common questions.  Because our brains have the uncanny ability to store an unlimited network of information, individuals have the natural urge to learn more, however if the opportunity is not available, they will find other means to stimulate their minds.  That is why it is our duty to globalize information, primarily because we have the technology to transport books and supplements, to share our opinions among other eager in order to generate masses of opinion and in the midst of all the questions, an answer, an undisputed truth.

But if we as a people want to optimize the search for a truth, whether may be in forms of rhetoric or science,  we must globalize education.  We must present the opportunity for underprivileged children to see the expanse of knowledge and the power it contains.  For those with a monetary or situational advantage, take the advantage and nurture it, but because it is humanity's duty to globalize education, be the guide towards this humanitarian goal; if sacrifice is needed, a hero will be discovered, but it is not necessary to do so.
