Education

The word 'education' is derived from its Latin root 'educare' literally translated as 'to bring out of' or 'to lead forth'.

Therefore, when we educate people,
if we use the word seriously,
we do not stuff something new into their minds;
rather, we lead this something out of them;
we bring it forth from the unconscious into their awareness.

They were the possessors of the knowledge all along.

- Scott Peck, The Road Less Travelled
