About This Quote
Ender Wiggin, a young boy in a world of hateful adults, was only eight years old when he underwent a transformation. As a result of his political training, Ender saw what he had to see and did what he was trained to do. He saw the truth and acted on it. If you’re given your eyesight back, would you see the world how you did then? Or would you adjust your vision because the world has changed since then? The idea that we should be able to adapt to our surroundings and the world around us has been lost in many people's outlooks today.
When we were younger we could adapt ourselves to our environment and change ourselves in order to fit in and be accepted by others. But today we are taught that we cannot change ourselves and that we should be content with staying the same.
