Conquer.

We have heard, and only heard, of times where and when one used to pay a great, if not absolute, heed to his Elders or Gurus. The very obvious result was the blossom of the Art to Listen. What flowed furthermore was acceptance, acceptance of one's ignorance and that, 'I do not know' and therefore arose a desire to know.

Today speaks otherwise, here one tends to rather shield his ignorance and let it be so that he may slip back to the comfort of darkness and in doing so he may never know.

Moreover, the path treaded is of conquest and not of exploration, and thereby one faces enemies of his own creation, for he wants to conquer.
