The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something.
That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie
awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the
world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser
minds. There is only one thing for it then to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it.
That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never
fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of
things there are to learn.

Ideally, what should be said to every child, repeatedly, throughout his or her school life is something
like this: 'You are in the process of being indoctrinated. We have not yet evolved a system of
education that is not a system of indoctrination. We are sorry, but it is the best we can do. What you
are being taught here is an amalgam of current prejudice and the choices of this particular culture.
The slightest look at history will show how impermanent these must be. You are being taught by
people who have been able to accommodate themselves to a regime of thought laid down by their
predecessors. It is a self-perpetuating system. Those of you who are more robust and individual than
others will be encouraged to leave and find ways of educating yourself educating your own

judgements. Those that stay must remember, always, and all the time, that they are being moulded
and patterned to fit into the narrow and particular needs of this particular society.
Doris Lessing, The Golden Notebook
