Discerning
A discerning mind learns to distinguish between the noise of temporary emotion and the quiet voice of wisdom.
Autonomous
To become an autonomous thinker, one must actively question the assumptions inherited from environment and culture.
Plausibility
We must be cautious not to mistake the surface plausibility of an argument for genuine truth.
Extraneous
Clarity of thought emerges when one discards extraneous details to focus on the essential core.
Retrospect
Life can only be understood in retrospect, yet it must be lived continuously moving forward.
Subjective
Value is entirely subjective, as a item's worth is defined not by its composition, but by the meaning a human mind assigns to it.
