Our age is the age of criticism, to which everything must be subjected.
These lines moved me the most, especially what followed: “The sacredness of religion, and the authority of legislation, are by many regarded as grounds of exemption from the examination of this tribunal. But, if they on they are exempted, they become the subjects of just suspicion, and cannot lay claim to sincere respect, which reason accords only to that which has stood the test of a free and public examination.”
Simply put; maturity implies understanding and critiquing any idea that has the ability to be doubted. Without this inquiry, an individual’s growth is hondered. The question that comes to the mind, however, is: how to tackle an notion or law of ‘non-inquiry,’ if it is enforced?

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.”
