If ideologies and doctrines and philosophies make you think – then it’s all to the good.
The moment these don’t – you must discard them completely.
The narrow-minded expands his mind by looking outside his narrow mind. Broadening the general knowledge can serve that purpose.
However it is not about attaining this knowledge – it is about the act of discovery.
The moment of attainment is the moment mind is narrow again. Closed within the (newly) established bounds.
Closed is closed.
Closed is dead.
Time to discard the lessons and
RESUME THE EXPLORATION.
