00:00The story I would recommend you to read, The Country of the Blind by H.G. Wells.
00:04There is a scene in the story, so this man can see, but accidentally he has strayed into the
00:10country of the blind, where everybody has been blind since generations. So this striking scene,
00:17this man with vision has been caught by two blind men and they are leading him, dragging him.
00:24And I was teaching this to young students 20 years back. And I asked, who are these two people
00:30who know nothing, are totally blind, but are dragging this one and telling him you don't
00:36know a thing, we'll show you the way. Who are these two people? They didn't utter a word,
00:40they just kept laughing. Cool students just kept laughing. That's the tragedy of life. As you grow
00:45up, you stop laughing at stupidity. As you grow up, you start obeying stupidity. Remain that kid who
00:52can laugh at stupidity in its face without fear.
