"DeBono", said the Master, "gave us a morsel of the truth when he said: 'Before five, children are still collecting information by asking 'Why?' There is as yet too little information with which to be creative'. (Po: Beyond Yes and No.)."
"But I thought that all of us always ask: 'What and Why', Master, and that creativity, new ideas, and the gathering of all knowledge is the highest state of happiness, one can attain?"
"You are entirely correct. The morsel of truth is not complete, but it
serves its (and DeBono's) purpose admirably. Be as
the child Grasshopper, or, as in Kung Fu: 'In games, children
teach sometimes more than books' (Kung Fu 8). So it is the Way to
be curious and playful, to enjoy knowledge and be creative, i.e.
True-, Free-, Thinking."
