Education, means or end...

 

So many times I am surprised by the reaction of the educated lot in my social circle and so many times I get disgusted with the same...

In our society and so many others which I have read about, education has now comes to be an end to earn more... yes, I too believe that education is essential to good earning but I seriously don't believe in the fact that it is an end... I believe that education is a means to achieve so many more things in life (of-course, the earnings is just a small part...)

Education in our society is so much concentrated on the earnings aspect that the basic essentials are forgotten easily... No matter people earn these higher degrees to show that they are more educated than the few others, but they don't show the attitude or mental state of a more educated person... So much so that it has forced me to go back and ask myself that is is the same kind of education I would allow myself, my family members or my next generation to go through...

But alas, world is not governed by what is right or wrong (infarct, as the saying goes there is no right or wrong), but what is public perception... If this remains to be the course which our society or the others take in future, the human civilization would come to a standstill in terms of understanding, mental growth and will only grow in population...

After all the eternal question of what is life? still remains answers and we have billions of years to go before we find an answer...
