The pursuit of Understanding is literally the Pursuit of Knowledge. It is Ignorance vs. Knowing. Uneducation vs. Education.
Where there is ignorance, there is Fear, Misunderstanding, and Prejudice. There is Disintegration and Panic.
Where there is Education and Knowing, there is Love, Comprehension, Understanding and Acceptance.
We have to Understand. That is what we seek above all else to Understand the Self. To Understand others. To Be Understood By Others.
Education and Knowledge is the Only Path of Understanding.
Understanding is what leads to Connection. Without Understanding, you cannot Connect.
The Process of Understanding is Connection.
If you remove Understanding, you disconnect.
Education leads to Connection of the Self, Connection to Others, and Connection for Others.
