Lew Ayres needs to take what he has learned (either through formal education or his own questing and life experience) and share it with others, communicate it or express it in a way that can benefit others. Knowledge and understanding, which does not enhance either Lew's quality of life or that of persons in his world, is of little real value. Putting Ayres' understanding, philosophy, and convictions into practice in his daily relationships, and in the multiple choices he makes every day, will enable Lew Ayres to really test his belief system and discover more about life.
