PREFACE
We learn whether we want to or not. Some things we are taught, others are instinct. We learn through our senses but sometimes we learn from within. You get an idea not that you were taught but because we think. Even animals think.
When we are bom the first thing we learn is to smile. We see someone smile and mimic the person we are looking at. Sight is the dominating factor until we graduate from that to learning words.
Then we learn to put words into sentences. The first sentences we put together are to express our wants and needs.
Then we begin learning history. This is usually in the form of religion. In some families this becomes the most important part of our lives but I believe it takes away from an important view of life.
Wouldn?t it be wonderful if we learned about the wonderful thinkers that have ever existed. (Darwin, Einstein, Confucious, Jefferson, Einstein, Mandella, Mark Twain to name a few.)
