education. scene 2 act 1

so what's the purpose of education anyways? some say its to get a better paying job. some say its to gain respect in society. some even as far as to say that it makes it easier for the government to govern its people. all are true; and it all depends on how you wanna look at it.

now i aint downplaying the role of education in our society. while i agree to a certain extent of its importance, its gotta be know that it aint as important as most people think. why? coz education is just a small part of knowledge.

there is no wordplay here. the 2, education and knowledge, are as different as fire and ice. fail a test or an exam and you would have been thought as to not havin an education. learn about something and still fail it and you would have gained knowledge. there is no pressure in knowledge but a whole bagful of it with education. its funny how the one thing that is important in our lives and how we go about it, we choose to push it aside in our strive for its weaker cousin.

with knowledge, you learn that u dun have to prove yourself to others coz there are no standards for u to surpass. with education, u are expected to be of a certain calibre. good and bad in both cases; again the onus lies on u on how you would want to look at it.

your education wun get u far in this life. it may get u the interviews at the best companies in the world. but that's just about it. without knowledge such as people skills and charming those ppl conducting your interviews, your application and their trash will end up in the same place. so think about it. is what u are pursuin worth the effort? and what about a different kind of pursuit in another direction? choosing only one over the other aint exactly a smart move. its common ground that reigns supreme over here.
