"Education, schools, the structure of society, and the norms that come with it prevent the child from understanding what freedom and intelligence really mean. If teachers and parents alike do not deeply understand this for themselves, then all we are doing is teaching the child what love is not. But if we could understand what is the origin of greed, ambition, fear, the false sense of security, and violence, we could begin to understand ourselves and we could begin to understand life ..read more
