Arts, crafts and sciences

"Arts, crafts and sciences uplift the world of being, and are conducive to its exaltation. Knowledge is as wings to man's life, and a ladder for his ascent. Its acquisition is incumbent upon everyone"

Baha'i Writings

This quote is nice, especially after the last one and the thoughts that it triggered. Yesterday I saw knowledge not just as book learning, but also as experience. Today I'm tempted to put "arts, crafts and science" as a definition for the areas we have to learn about. In fact, it isn't really what the quote says. But anyway, it's nice to see arts and crafts next to the word "knowledge".

Also, I like the last sentence. Yesterday I concluded that everybody has some knowledge that they can build upon. Today I discover that they have to do just that!
