Humanism by Quincy Pedrick [STUDENT]

I am a Renaissance Humanist, as I believe in the pursuit of knowledge and in Mankind.  We as humans are better when we look to the past, to improve the present for a better future. I believe that learning from sources unfamiliar to us, even ones that are contradicting to our beliefs, can tell us a lot about our world. Whether it is learning fundamental English, or  subjects as poetry and history which are more focused on a deeper meaning, it is imperative that we seek things that interest us. Yet most of all i believe in humanity, and the beauty of it’s tainted purity, whether it is cruel or kind. Confidence in your self can take you to the stars, but confidence in humanity can take you past your wildest dreams, that and the pursuit of knowledge is why I am a Renaissance Humanist.
