The Pitfall of Education
The pitfall of education is that it removes the innovative curiosity that sparks that which is to be disseminated through "education." The more we "learn" the less there is to discover. And the more that those discoveries are disseminated by trust the more uniform the understanding of them is so that the originality and uniqueness in explaining those discoveries fade. This means expression wanes. When expression wanes, universality moves from relevant to irrelevant and forgotten.
From my experience, personal discovery of any "truth" is tantamount to the experience itself. It moves beyond an understanding to a knowing. And knowing is holier than understanding. But when the pursuit of knowing extends beyond experiencing in an unbalanced way, the pursuit is detrimental to appreciation, and there is no greater state of being than appreciation.
