We have been taught apathy for a very long time.
Ever since we were students: the teacher knew, and the students were taught; the teacher talked and the students listened; the teacher chose and the students complied.
This type of interaction makes us- both the teacher and the student, less human. It turns us into adaptable, manageable and apathetic individuals.
In this state of being, the world will never be transformed. It leads us to adjust, and it inhibits creative power. We never learn to challenge an answer, we almost never create using only our humanness. The part of the brain that we lose here, is the part in which, inside, holds the hope of our world. We must train ourselves to imagine things differently than the way they are now, and we must find the bravery to take action. A great mind attracts great things.
I am becoming freedom. I am freedom. It is not an ideal located outside of myself;
freedom is the indispensable condition for the quest for my completion.

I think that education, if it is true and genuine, is a personal achievement. Thus, no one, not even a teacher, teaches you anything. They teach you how to learn and you decide what you will learn. If education is the student's resonsibility, than it is also our responsiblity to resist becoming apathetic.
