Sapere Aude
is not the first time I mention the thought of Kant, but I find it a lot. We must always have the courage of his intellect, to use it and follow it.
We have been given and the least we can do is use it. Not always help, but do not see why denigrate, or no help.
Yesterday, at dinner at my cousin, an acquaintance (more or less the same age) if they came out with this chilling sentence: "The culture and study are no longer needed at all. All of unnecessary stuff."
My father and I we were crucified on the spot, horrified.
I, as I also said to a friend, do not think so. It 's true, perhaps in our society have changed the references, and attention is paid mostly to the possession, apparently, rather than the substance. But to say that culture is not needed, as well as being a thought of abysmal poverty and ignorance, it seems an affront to all that were the struggles and demands of the classroom. My
father studied, working by day and studying by night, to become what it is. I do not want to make a hero who knows how many other people have done and maybe even with better results. But he felt that what he had was not enough and he used his intellect, and no shortcut to improve. It seems to me really a slap to all those who can not but would like to affirm that culture is not needed.
Perhaps it is not paid, no more delay.
But money is not all, most of all, of course, does not live on air, but there is also personal satisfaction.
Although very disappointed and frustrated by my situation (not) working, I do not regret what I did, I do not regret what I am, I do not regret what I know. I am proud and I believe that ignorance generates many spectra, perhaps like the hungry.
It 's true that we must weigh those who pronounce certain phrases, but when I hear them, sometimes I feel a deep sadness for those who pronounce them, because it seems to lose a really great part of life.
