Education: The Key to a Better Life?



“Beyond the knowledge we got from education, what doth people gain?”
                They are saying that education has already taken us away from certain slavery and drudgery. These fools don’t know that possession of education thist raises people’s competitiveness, aggression, and exploitive tendencies to a more subtle dimension. It does not change their hearts from loving mammon to loving God.
                Education, yes it places a vital part of our national and international culture. It influences the lives and thoughts of all of us. But does it free us from certain slavery and drudgery? No of course not. Acquiring education only increased the people’s will of livelier interest in the world in which he live, the same as the will to increase his capabilities for enjoyment. Therefore, such becoming totally educated springs “materialistic mentality”.
                Why are people nowadays so interested in acquiring education? People want power. They want to increase their control. Why is this? Because they want (power) to enjoy. The desire to be educated or to increase knowledge is based on the desire to have greater power. He is trying to increase ones power or abilities so that he can control more efficiently. And why does he want to control? So that he can enjoy.              
                Education has introduced methods to help people increase their control over other people or the environment. But all these methods have the same aim – to increase control in order to increase material gain or profit. The aim is the same, for enjoyment; the means of achieving this enjoyment is by increasing his control. Thus, education springs or leads him mentally materialistic.
                Everyone in the world naturally wants to increase his knowledge endlessly so he can imitate God and be the enjoyer. Every person feels that he is the center and that everything and everyone else exist only for his exploitation. In other words, the increase in knowledge does not free people from their enviousness of God, unless until he is interested in changing his heart.
                If a person develops his intelligence, might this not cause him to become a better person?
