Does the school have taught me WHAT to think, or HOW to think?


Well, I couldn´t say for sure, because most of my teacher taught me what to think; but a few of the didn´t. There´s this one special person who taught me that was very important to have my own opinions and judgments and that I needed to analyze every single think that came to my mind. Thanks to her, I understood, that it didn´t mattered if I thought differently from others; I learnt that i had to stand by my beliefs, but also respect other one´s thoughts. The fact that I learnt this from a few people, against most of my other teachers may seem like nothing, but I learnt so many thing form both side, and well, knowledge without understanding is kind of useless. So I consider myself as lucky, because I got a little from both, but I still need to develop my skills and improve my critical thinking.

WHY...?

WHY




Have you ever wondered so many things that no one had an answer for? Just think about it, there are many things we don't know, but still we accept them.
  • Why do we go to school 5 out of 7 days?
  • Why are we baptized, since we are born in the Catholic religion?
  • Why is it so important for most of people having an ecclesiastical marriage?
  • Why did people used to think that white skin represented superiority?
  • Why did Hitler hated Jewish people?
  • Why do we live in society?
  • Why "common" is accepeted and "original" is considered as rare?
  • Why are humans the only rational animals?
  • Why does earth rotates?
  • Even when all religions are based in tolerance, love and acceptance, WHY do people fight each other "to defend” theirs?
  • Why do we blame everyone else when something bad happens?
  • Why do I have more questions about religions rather than about my own daily life?
  • Why do I go to school every day? 
So many more questions go through my head, and the more questions I make, the more appear around. So many doubts and understandable things; there's an endless list of questions.
We only need to take a moment to think about our lives and question them.
