| "Here the ways of men part: if you wish to strive for peace of soul and pleasure, then believe; if you wish to be a devotee of truth, then inquire." --Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche | |
| As journalists, as teachers, as intelligent creatures, we are disciples of truth. We rage against the covert, the dishonest, the silent. Ironically, we gather information-- accepting it as truth-- from sources whose credibility we fail to question, whose sincerity we take for granted. To devour these tainted morsels is suicide. | |
| To save ourselves from mental expiration, we must learn to question, learn to doubt, use our voices in more than simple affirmation. We must release the insatiable beast of curiosity, for only a curious mind can relish a world unbound. | |
| Or choose the darker trail, one that is rocky and unsteady, with dangerous turns and uncertain outcomes. There will be obstacles; attackers are inevitable. Devoid of footprints, you know that not many have traveled this path before. | |
| So make your choice. For a world unbound, iconoclasts inquire within. |
