Throughout life we think we discover the truth, in fact, we just come across little elements or signs of truth which indicate that we are on the right track. These different signs allow us to walk a step forward and introduce us to the broad realm of truth that we discover gradually. It is our duty to cultivate these elements while also gathering more signs in order to acquire the truth itself. In other words, we cannot reach the truth without knowing its origin. And we can embrace the totality of truth only by accumulating, from a tender age, all of its little signs and pieces.  The difficulty is, possessing the total of these pieces, without which we would lose track of our first years, as well as of our own origin. It is essential that we be linked to that origin, which ensures continuity and will lead us eventually to the truth. That is why I value childhood and consider it vital.
