Assumption Quote by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
““Assuming that all ‘unschooled’ people to lack education is akin to assuming that a salary is the only means to make money, or, that a vagina or a penis is the only source of an orgasm.””
About This Quote
Assuming formal education is the sole path to knowledge ignores diverse learning experiences, just as equating salary with income or genitalia with orgasm oversimplifies reality.
In simple terms: Education isn’t only formal; income isn’t only salary; pleasure isn’t only genital.
