Ignorance is a pit.
/ Those who are curious, explorers and truth-seeking refuse to accept the darkness; they strive to climb their way out and let the sun wash their face, even if for a moment before another fall.
/ Those who are not, have made themselves comfortable in the pit, which has become their own home. It is no surprise that, when incited to abandon your own home, you vehemently refuse to do it.
Nonetheless, I cannot help but notice that most of the great achievements in human history have depended on the former type of people. I do not know of any stronger weapon against ignorance than curiosity, just as I cannot imagine any way of departing from darkness other than light.
