I love my teacher, and I love truth more. Who said that?
From the mouth of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle.

Aristotle, Plato, his great philosopher, and Socrates, Plato's teacher, are called the three sages of ancient Greece.

Under the guidance of Plato, Aristotle studied the teacher's thoughts and other schools in ancient Greece for more than 20 years. In the process of learning, he gradually disagreed with the teacher's point of view. But he was not blinded by the aura of Plato and Socrates, but gave up thinking. He shouted: "I love my teacher, and I love truth more!" " . I think, perhaps it is the same tireless pursuit of truth itself that makes the three generations of ancient Greek masters and apprentices "shine on you is better than blue" become an ideological monument.

There is a saying in Mencius: "It is better to believe in books than to have no books." Although the "book" here refers to history books, it can now include a vast sea of books. Whether in ancient Greece or ancient China, the sages wanted to convey to us the same spirit, that is, to pursue the truth enthusiastically and bravely. Ready-made knowledge is just a tool for us to explore the truth. The real exploration should be to think with your own mind, to think with your heart and to prove it with practice.
