Just Listening

I'm beginning to take Socrates ideas of finding truth to heart.  He believed that by deliberating with his fellow man he could come to truth.  I believe that just by listening you can come to truth.  People love to talk about themselves, their ideas, their days, their personality, their life and everyone has a unique spin, perspective and philosophy. So when you listen it broadens your horizons tyo things you may have never considered.  I have found that most of the answers (lately) that I have been looking for came out of the mouths of people who were pondering just like me.  With millions, and even billions of people in the world, we don't need to seek knowledge with blinders on, that would defeat the purpose.

What Makes One Educated?

What is it that makes someone educated?

is it running around flashing a badge of education whilst speaking in a British accent and  looking through a monocle?

I think perhaps it is.
