I flunked a few tests in school. Even got an F on a report card once. The F was a wake up call. The next grade on that report card was a B and A’s from then on. Sometimes, a person has to know they can fail before they realize they better work a little harder to avoid it.
We are all ignorant and agnostic. Some are more ignorant of some things than others and just loves it. Learning from mistakes is part of life. If your can’t do it you and we are in trouble. Why evolution would give us such people I am not sure yet.

I don’t mind either, Calvin. At least, that’s what my mother always used to say. She’d say “lalapalooza, you just don’t mind!”

Don’t worry about it Calvin when you grow up, people will tell you what to think, you won’t have to do it for yourself.

Our teachers constantly banged on us for day dreaming which we now know is the highest form of thinking.

Cal works best in the Tom Sawyer mode. Adventure is more fun than school and work.

Planning for the future is important, but remember that nobody ever drew their last breath wishing that they’d spent more time at the office.

You can choose to remain ignorant, Calvin, but you can’t choose to avoid the consequences of being ignorant.
