Putting it in Descartes’ words “I am not denying that in their wanderings they sometimes happen on what is true. It is possible to attain such realities, but they are not a product of self-determination, of self-control or of following one path (one method) they are the products of fortune, of luck. Men always hope to gain, but with the desire to put the least of efforts they want the treasure to come to them, the same way we want money to come to us with the least work possible we want recognition with the least of struggle. Most humans do not follow a fixed path, a method, but pick up the left-over of passers-by. It is in human’s nature to wonder around without defined paths, it is a property of the human mind not to follow a set of rules unless a force is applied to keep it fixed on a definite path. “So blind is the curiosity with which mortals are obsessed that they often direct their energies along unexplored paths, with no reasoned ground for hope, but merely making trial whenever what they seek may by happy chance be thereby found”.
