An
education is a set of roadmaps through the complex cities
of human thought, which taken all together can be
overwhelming and almost unnavigable. Most
of
us need a guide to find our way through, not just to
learn, but to put our learning into use a good education
is just a voice saying, look here, this is important, and
here is why... Plato, Aristotle,
Dante, Marlowe, Kyd, Shakespeare, Erasmus,
Moore, Galileo, Newton, Wollstonecraft, Swift, Browning,
Bronte,
Shaw, Wilde, Wittgenstein, Goethe, Sartre, Camus, Nietzsche, Woolf, Eliot, Einstein, Heisenberg, Hawking , Thorne,
and Kaku, to name a
few, are all cultural icons
because they have wonderful things to say about the human
spirit and the nature of the world. Literature,
History,
Art, Mathematics, Anthropology, Philosophy, Music, Poetry, and Physics these are
all inextricably linked together. They
are all part of the story of who we are, where we come
from, and where we are going. They
are the poem that is Humankind. Learning this poem is part
of learning to be human and humane. Wanting
to
learn about the world is natural. All
of
us are born with the desire, the hunger to learn, but so
many miss out, there are distractions everywhere. . . My
It
is our story; it is the music of our lives. So it goes. .
