we pursue knowledge,
alone and together,
students can ask questions without fear,
and learn through making mistakes,
professors correct students and then move on,
sometimes professors tell students we don’t know the answer either
and let us find out together,
professors say let us try this
and see whether it works,
oops it is wrong
let us try something else,
where we will never learn anything
if we are afraid to ask questions
and make mistakes,
where there is not just one voice
and not only one correct answer,
we learn the joy of discovery,
by taking risks in speculating,
we test our understanding by explaining and defending,
where the truth will stand the test of challenges
and the test of time,
but not that there is only one way to think,
where the learning and questioning will never end.
