Dear Rol:
I strongly agree with you, there is a problem however that I feel most
people do not take into consideration: That which motivates us is within
us. It doesn't just crop up magically, it was set there as our axiological
substructure was constructed from the moment we began to socialize. In
that sense, if learning was established as a value in itself, people
became life-long learners. Others have had to "crash" during adolesence,
when we questioned all those things that were established as basic values.

We can also be under the feet of midgets, but again, that would be our
fault...
