Equity to idiosyncratic

Each human brain thinks differently, which makes him/her unique. You cannot expect what you think is correct to be acceptable for others too. This statement can be proven by taking into consideration the ability of students to write different answers for same question. Though some will beat around the bush, some others nail at exact once, while others provide a new angle and rest completely wrong. Their answers show the type they are, like ordinary, studious, genius and misconstrued respectively. So, it is up to us to allow the new ideas, explore it and acknowledge it at correct time and place. This way creativity will sprout into tree of innovation in this society. These lines remind me of the following hilarious episode.
In a mental rehabilitation center, it was decided to check how well the patients have responded to the new treatment and discharge them, if their mental ability was found satisfactory. So, first three patients were taken for check up. The doctor gave each patient a cycle with no wheels, and asked them to ride it. The first two climbed on the cycle, pressed the pedals very fast, while the other was just sitting on it quietly. The doctors were astonished and happy, that at least one had responded to the treatment. It is human tendency to confirm or take a second opinion about the result they had obtained. So, they asked him, why didn’t he ride the cycle? He replied with a shocking expression “How could I pedal, when cycle is moving down in the subway due to gravity!”
