One Sentence

If I was to only be able to pass along one sentence to a whole new generation that new nothing of our previous knowledge, I would tell them, "I think, therefore I am." This one sentence has the ability to change the minds and the way people think. We are humans and have the skills to change things if we apply ourselves. I do not think this new population should be able to have all the information about the world given to them, because if they do, they will never use their minds. Besides, if we had start off from scratch, shouldn't they have to as well? How fair would that be, to give them all the knowledge we hold now when our predecessors had nothing to go off of? They did it by sheer determination and ambition. That is why I chose that sentence. It shows that if you use your mind and a little imagination, you can do anything. You can discover, or re-discover, everything that we have now, but it's up to them. I wouldn't let someone have it easy by giving them the clue to some huge scientific discovery. If we had to work for it, so should they.
