Doubt.

to me, also related to a saying i heard once and liked immensely - "the greatest mark of an educated mind is to be able to entertain any thought without getting affected"
the getting affected part is a subjective add-on to the point you are making ... i think :)
nice quote Faiz. It really points out why our roting mechanism of primary education fails.

Couldn't agree with you more there. May we live in saner times.
