edUcatIon..

    What is the literal meaning to be educated!?..often boggles my mind, to my curious understanding of this daily evolving circumstances. What role has my education, got to dictate in my understanding of this mysterious puzzle, of unforeseen scenario unfolding daily/often within my life, apart from its crucial role of earning me my daily bread and butter. A common sentence reminded to us often in our daily life, find worth repeating before venturing ahead, which goes to explore saying 'thaughts becomes words,words become action,action becomes habits,habits become character, and character becomes once desteny'. Where/What role has education got to finally define the destiny/personality of an individual!? Is it a passport to exploitation/exploration being built on what values!? It is to be probed deeper from self and from within organised institutional objectives, which promote knowledge decoded as education to our understanding, to be explicitly laid out in simple words/languages towards easy translation into practical actions.  To be built on honesty/dedication not on abstract misguided meaningless fortune/glittering tangible matter. Knowing well that the right will be righteous and the wrong will find a way around to prove the right wrong. As often its the case, ignorant are scared to try/think/change not out of lack of love/care but due to fear/insecurity of not having done it/being lead into this new understanding in the past from their parents/teachers/environment into as very often to be witnessed, from once nearest and dearest ones to the suggested thinking, being critical to any rational thinking from the dark/back, to being reasoning with an open mind from the front.
    Is our current education system so broad minded/shaped/etched to a format built not for a hidden agendas, hidden within simple/complex words/idols to mask the propaganda of its reasoning to make people fall into track to a preplanned ideology, to the real intention of holistic meaning of education, to explore beyond without a free unhindered obstacle to obstruct its smooth flow of knowledge from its source of wisdom, not to be pressurised under the pretext of achievements/safety/reasoning/history. Is education/awareness/quest/exploration readily available/utilised if so at what rational is often worth to be understood. Nations march ahead with manifestos listing education as its top most priority,even when achieved within the reach of a substantially few classified, at what cost and outcome needs to be examined. Is it not accomplished now at the expense/objective to be suppressive/dominant over the other with qualities of leadership/introspective pride/self esteem to rational understanding of the need/want for the larger good. Finding self  in an environment where one is motivated to be enlightened with crammed knowledge to lead than to be a part of a common collective vision. Summarised not in the least manner, as to where is the true/real sportsmanShip,grace in defeat and humble in victory. What do we observe/learn through our media/society/school/family..what is the definition of success/failure as imbibed deeper within our subconscious mind. Towards what/where/how/why is it linked to at the end!? Is it just stability/independence or a far reaching visual objective to evolve and work together towards a common universal social goal to fragmented ideologies of narrow mindedness of cracked reasoning of hatred/suspicion.
    Educational goal/objective summarised by these two short lessons, often heard and imbibed into, leading to often a centric inflated ego/competitiveness to inclusiveness. First is the lesson of the rabbit/tortoise the rabbit sleeps half way through, self calculating/priding in self to later realise the tortoise won the race. Second is the lesson of an healthy individual who goes begging around pretending he has an amputated leg, to realise one day when on his daily routine not being given alms by a seemingly successful person, who has both of his legs amputated, who made up to the top within his community by sear hard work and dedication, to embarrass the perfectly normal individual. The simple question to be asked in both the scenarios is, are these morals relevant to helping all characters in the story, with the moral finally built around and imbibed into self that 'slow and steady wins the race' and 'dedication and perseverance pays at the end'. Imagine the story/lesson with this twist in the first scenario,imagine the playing field was just/fair and included a river, to be fair on both creatures. The rabbit by the side of the river bank is stuck to cross the second hurdle to claim the prize and the turtle later comes along to give him a ride on his back to the other side of the river and both claim the prize together realising their limitation. In the second scenario, imagine the normal disabled acting man encounter with the successful hard working individual,  seeking alms the later comes out of his comfort zone and provides him with some temporary solution for his present condition and then inspires the normal lazy acting individual to think/react with hope. So in both the lessons the moral streamlines towards one focus/objective.. now pointing towards teamwork/inspiration/togetherness/a positive attitude, creating an inclusive integrated approach for living into, to the later self centric individual success models/lessons, gained at the cost/misfortune of the other individual involved. The ball is in the societies/individuals court..,to built/choose from again, create a new outlook/approach towards training into a broader model for living into this life. Think/React on what/which model would/should helps!?..as its never too late to try and start over again.
    Praying for a day when reasoning/understanding is not hindered/adulterated  with short term objectives, but with a long term vision/perspective for universal openness and outreach. Realising/relishing within the foundation created within self first, to further probes ahead realising how little one knows as one gets deeper within the quest. Education drawn out on a platform to explore self within first to other objectives. What/Why for to working together towards a collective humanitarian objective, built on togetherness/oneness.. finally to be drawn out with an attitude of progress and brotherhood to be shared/built towards the foundation of faith/hope/trust/responsibility.. realising well within again that respect/love is not obtained/possessed, but to be given out to receive in gratitude by expecting it from nonE.
