We are able to educate ourselves independently. We do not need to wait until someone else decides if we are to be educated, when we are to be educated, and on what we are to be educated. We can make the time and go to a place, with access to knowledge which is available for all to know, where we feel secure, and there are no dangers. We are able to educate ourselves independently if that is what we truly want.
That upon which we become educated becomes our knowledge. Knowledge which originates independently, when it is not presented, remains in private. Knowledge which originates independently, when it is presented, becomes public. Our knowledge, whether originated independently or not, is what allows us to become educated. As we become educated we, we must also decide which is to become public, and which is to remain in private.
Being educators of ourselves requires that we endure great self-sacrifice. It is a life-long process which many have attempted, and a process in which you can go on for as long as one has access to education. Independent education must also be evaluated as part of this process. Evaluating our independent education will help us better assess which areas of education need further development, and which need to diversify, so that our education is in balance.
