About This Quote

Schools, businesses, and institutions are constantly trying to get us to think one way or another. They want us to think of their side of things as the right way, the real truth, and they will spend countless resources to make sure we believe it. But schools and universities no longer have a monopoly on education. The rest of us have access to a world of knowledge now thanks to the internet.

You can learn about anything you want, no matter how controversial or unpopular it may be. When a person chooses a different path from a group of people, they can often become the target of criticism from those who have been brainwashed into thinking one way. In order for any society to be healthy and functional, there must be tolerance for those who take different paths from those around them.
