PRESERVING OUR PREJUDICES
People Who Enter The Libraries Of Life
With Their Minds Made Up
About Their Own Eternal Truths
Are Unwilling To Trust
The Existence Of Other Realities
That Are Inconsistent And Unfamiliar
With Their Cherished Concepts
About Subjects They Consider Serious

If One Closes His Ears
And Continues To Talk
When The Flow Of Information
Enters His Environment
He Is Unlikely To Increase
His Intellectual Assets

An Individual Who Is Opposed
To Any New System Of Thought
That Seems Separate From His Mental Self
Has No Appreciation For Conclusions
That Exist Too Far Away
From His Isolated Island Of Ideas

Anyone With Unusual Research Skills
Who Spends All Of His Studying Time
On A Single Narrow Subject
And Who Has No Intention Of Knowing
Any More Than He Desires
Will Not Advance Intellectually
Beyond His Undeveloped Views

A Worldwide Search For Details
To Confirm Your Chosen Beliefs
Is An Unwise Way
To Broaden Your Perspective
Or To Lengthen Your Learning
About The Subjects You Need To Study

Neither Knowledge Nor Wisdom
Has A Chance To Sprout And Grow
In The Experience Of An Illiterate Individual
Who Is Convinced That His Truths
Are The Only Guidelines For Living
A Full And Complete Life
