                                      "There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance."

                                                                              Socrates

With this simple, yet powerful quote, Socrates is drawing our attention to the importance of knowledge and equally the dangers of ignorance. Even people with the best intentions can cause potential harm if their understanding of the world is incomplete or inaccurate; conversely, knowledge has the power to resolve conflicts, and keep us from harm by better understanding the laws of the universe. Building an accurate picture of reality is the imperative to human wellbeing.
