Tue, March 8, 2005 - 12:15 AMBelieve nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true. [paraphrased]
Buddha.
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
