"Constant and frequent questioning is the first key to wisdom... For through doubting we are led to inquire, and by inquiry we perceive the truth."
Peter Abelard (1079-1142)
Note:
Philosopher, logician, theologian, teacher, musician, composer, and poet... Quote taken from his work Sic Et Non.
Questioning, doubting observably, logically, ethically opposes the fool's drone-like acceptance of science, fact, truth or common good as though "in", "settled" or "foregone conclusively" as often promulgated by empowered institutions whether the 16th century Catholic Church, 20th century Nazi Germany and Soviet Union as well 20th/21st century US Government.
Instead, the pursuit of knowledge, logic, consistency, ethic, truth, discernment, wisdom comes only by ceaseless study, endless ponder, tireless labor until one's last breath. The same ends pursued by lesser effort leads unavoidably, inevitably to ignorance, illogic, inconsistency, immorality, falsity, dullness and foolishness.
Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
