how can education be expensive, you would think people would have to get paid to go to school, not pay to get educated. I know it doesn't make sense for most of you because you believe education gives power but have you read some books lately? They're filled with another person's thoughts. You'll also argue that in order to make a good living you need a good education. My view people suffer because they know too much, they confuse pleasure with happiness. This is evident in the high suicide rates amongst developed nations. A good example is what is the value of gold? An educated person will come up with many reasons to rationalize gold's high value, but the uneducated will think nothing of it. The only reason an uneducated person might think it has value is that the educated person told him so. If I were a parent, I would teach my children the ten commandments and to stay away from the lawless and educated.
