“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?
