Education

Today everything is much overrated,
the reason is because we're mass educated


When educators educate they over-emphasize or over-exaggerate the knowledge they have bestowed. If they don't overrate what they teach then the student would feel cheated. The educators are covering their butts and this is poison. This is not true knowledge, it is watered down learning at best and programming at worst. You'll see it in any university, institution, or socially created structure. Societies over-promote a college education and try to make you believe that without a university degree you are worthless...and the sad part is that people believe it. Parents work their whole lives and sacrifice themselves to put their kids through college and believe they are making their kids lives better. Well, maybe they are financially but they don't look any deeper than that. As long as their kids are financially successful the parents believe they have done a noble job in providing their kids with an education. How sad!

If finances are the measure of success in a person attending college, you would have to conclude that the most successful ones are the inner city kids whose only skills in life is to bounce a basketball and suck on a crack pipe. They end up signing basketball contracts for 50-75 million dollars but can barely spell their names. These are the sports heroes we all glorify. They all go to college but they learn absolutely nothing and they end up making more money in one month in the NBA (National Basketball Association) than the whole college faculty combined makes in 10years. And of course it has already been proven that the most sucsessful and richest people in the world have never gone to college. Yet we are always being told that we have to go to college to become something. 9 out of 10 people I know, end up depressed and in debt after finishing their college 'education'. The teachers keep teaching...the sports heroes keep doing their drugs...and the rest of the student body keeps filling the vaults of the universities with hard earned money going in debt and their parents claiming bankrupcy. No one is getting any smarter. What a silly game to play.

Education is not over rated it is some educators. Their are many eager students awaiting knowledge and insight from those they trust to give them the foundation to educate themselves. It is ego that keeps the educator trapped inside their own facade that what they have to say is important.
We learn from every movement every meeting of fate, we absorb experience and apply it in our lives and helping others. Our educators, our parents, our spiritual leaders are supposed only to drop the kernal needed for direction for our personal education and perpective.
