"No simplicity of mind, no obscurity of station, can escape the universal duty of questioning all that we believe"

This quote by William Kingdon Clifford is a reminder that no matter who we are or what our station in life is, all of us have a duty to question what we believe. It is insufficient to simply accept what we are informed or what we have actually been taught. We need to take the time to believe critically and question the information we are presented with. This is specifically essential in today's world, where info is so easily offered and can be quickly controlled. We must be watchful in our questioning and not take anything at face value. We need to want to challenge our own beliefs and those of others in order to make sure that we are making informed choices. By doing so, we can guarantee that our beliefs are based on realities and not on assumptions or hearsay.
