Education is our greatest opportunity to give an irrevocable gift to the next generation.

Dalai Lama

Co-operation comes from friendship, friendship comes from trust, and trust comes from kind-heartedness.

In arriving at the relevant theory about the specifics of our faculty of vision we will presumably use our eyes to gather relevant data. Based on such data we come to know about the optic nerve, the structure of our eyes, the rods and cones, etc. , so as to explain how it is that vision gives us reliable access to the shapes and colors of objects around us. In reliably arriving at that theory we thus exercise the very faculty whose reliability is explained by the theory. There is no vice in this sort of circularity.
