Education

Education is an ideal. It’s known to be one of the best gifts we can give others and ourselves.

The aim of education is knowledge. But knowledge is not imparted to all and sundry. It’s a tightly controlled goldmine. Only a few have the will and commitment to enter the gold mine, to dig there, to get their hands dirty and bruised...that’s when the mine yields its riches...

What passes as education that is taught in most institutions is a sham. It’s merely a tool to control those being ‘educated’, to keep them occupied, to keep them in check through promised certificates and degrees that will ensure jobs, income, respect, material welfare etc.

Education is used today as a tool to control young minds so that they can be channeled in the direction chosen by those imparting it...

Real education is learning to observe, to understand and then to utilize the essence gained to bring a little more joy to those around whose lives can be touched...

What is doled out in classrooms as education is basically a large tub filled with dirt. The dirt, however, contains grains of gold, of gems, of riches...and they can only be obtained by those who peer close and deep into those tubs of dirt, pick out the grains of gold and consolidate them until they have a large enough heap...

Having done that for a long enough period, the prospector, the miner will have collected enough to be truly wealthy...

And then that wealth becomes the capital with which to create greater wealth...

That’s what knowledge is and that’s what knowledge does...and that’s the aim of real education...
