EDUCATION

Often times we come across this life process but tend not to live it. The philosophy you are about to encounter might be quite counterintuitive to the primitive minds our forefathers passed unto us. A clergy once said your philosophy of life determines how you live your life. This logically infers man to be an intrinsic philosopher by survival instincts. Nevertheless, how does education relate to any of the "gibberish" I scribbled down before thee?
Education is theoretically said to be gained by formal and informal means. Once more I question my thoughts, what does thou mean by "formal" means? Formal, as at the era of the stone age would probably mean a forceful and wasteful effort on behavioral nature resulting in a realm of a deceitful perspective of life which is ostensible. It simply illustrates using ambiguous words rather than simpler expressions in defining "formal" just as I have purposefully done here, hence causing chaos instead of creating understanding. Education needs no formal methods, needs no lecturers but teachers, needs no exams but practical applications, needs no dogmatic individuals who call themselves intellectuals but students.
Education ought to be a life process where we learn to re-invest in ourselves. The environment some formal settings creates is an atmosphere of depression in the mind  when education is meant to prevent us from the horror of depression. Education is only achieved when we decide to live what we learn. Formal methods inform us about environmental pollution yet the ozone layer persists in its degeneration. It ain't the education that isn't effective but its methods of distribution. Strangely enough, people get educated for the major aim of using it as a source of income apparently when some the wealthiest people in the world had little or no formal methods of education.
The philosophy is revealed, we are aware there is a breach, but where lies its source...our philosophy of life. In order not to sound as a critic towards formal education, a simple illustration will get the job done. Reading just the concluding part of this write up decodes the message in a similar manner the whole write up would have equally done but the whole write-up did one extra thing-waste your time-the same effect formal methods have.
Re-orientate your philosophy, and your life will re-orientate. Educate your actions not your theory-the learned differ from the educated. Learn to apply what you learn and be ever conscious that life is learning in itself. Asides what you learned in formal settings, what else have you learnt today?
