We are Educated Fools

If a student obeys the teachers’ instructions at
School, he may be bullied by his friends. If he
Stands sincerely on the line waiting for his turn, he
is pushed from behind. If someone picks up litter
and throws into the litter box, that scene becomes
the cause of roar of laughter around there. We go
to schools, colleges or whatever institutes we find
to receive education, we call ourselves wise people,
but our activities of today are not different from
those of a fool.
Human intelligence is worth appreciating observing
what humans have done from Stone Age to modem
age. The invention of fire was a mesmerizing
demonstration of human intelligence. The period of
90’s made numerous scientific discoveries and the
present era is applying those discoveries to unlock
the boundless mysteries of the world. This is called
development. and the pace of it is being accelerated
day by day. It is a matter of pride taking about human intelligence,
but on the other side there lies the bitter truth that
human civilization is degrading every day. Schools
and colleges are set up saying that one can go there
and receive education. They guarantee to quality
education. They teach Maths. English, Science,
Dance and Music. But no school of today teaches
human or moral values and civilization.
People dream of reaching the top of the world. They
gather certificates, get degrees and live in vain
that they achieved their dreams. Such dreams keep
them away from trying to achieve something really
great. Great people were those who found out the
real value of human life. But we are merely going
to schools, colleges, universities and becoming the
educated fools.

We learn various things through our books;
memories them and write down those things on
exam papers but are never ready to write them being
based on our practical life. Not only that, today we
write those things on exam papers, and tomorrow
we delete them from our mind. This is the so called
education we are receiving today. All those things
written are centered on one thing. We humans have
come much higher from the Stone Age but the
higher we are rising, the more we are falling. So
let’s not fool ourselves thinking we are always the
superior ones. If we are to be superior, we should
have the qualities accordingly. Let’s not make our
degradation engulf our human civilization. Let’s
be what we are (humans) and let’s not be just the
educated fools of today’s generation.
