Education

I think the point of education has been misplaced. It should have nothing to do with making a living or making one more marketable toward success. Education should be the sharing of knowledge, and voluntary training of ones natural abilities, so that when combined and applied through the avenues laid by communication and organization, provides for everything for the whole. In other words, the priority of education should be to expand the capabilities of Human beings so that we can provide the very best survival and engineered environments for us all. We are compassionate Human beings, all mothers and fathers, sons and daughters. The two most precious things we have are life and love. If we are to take care of either, it requires sharing, cooperation, maturity and sense. We can contribute, if we wish to, all in different ways. There are over 6 billion of us on this planet, all varying in capability. We are all equals and there is a huge untapped potential from the Human race. One should never be judged on ones contributions or capabilities. Making comparisons would be immature. Making ones personal survival and comfort dependent on it, would be ludicrous. Does it really make sense to compete for survival? Does it really make sense to extort each other? Does it really make sense to maintain borders to separate people and resources? Would it really make sense to NOT provide every life the very best we are collectively capable of? We are no longer cavemen. Parents and teachers, what future are you designing? The past has no true hold. We are here and now. Give the Human race a chance. We are the last surviving members of the Human race. We are more knowledgeable and more capable than any other Human born before us. It’s time that the self-proclaimed dominant species of the planet starting acting like it. Use the brains you are so desperately trying to educate. It is up to us to realize education can unite the planet to bring convenience and experience to every life.
