Why do we go through the struggle to be educated? Is it merely in order to pass some examinations and get a job? Or is it the function of education to prepare us while we are young to understand the whole process of life? having a job and earning one’s livelihood is necessary—but is that all? Are we being educated only for that? Surely, life is not merely a job, an occupation; life is wide and profound, it is a great mystery, a vast realm in which we function as human beings. If we merely prepare ourselves to earn a livelihood, we shall miss the whole point of life; and to understand life is much more important than merely to prepare for examinations and become very proficient in mathematics, physics, or what you will.
I really enjoy this excerpt because it puts into a better perspective why we continuously learn. I have a firm belief that there is always more to learn, and I think that continuously growing and learning is genuinely good for us. I think this passage does an excellent job in showing us the joy in learning about something we love. I think that by learning about things we enjoy, even if it is something others may deem unimportant, like, learning about the story and complexity of your favorite video game, there is still something you are learning, and hopefully getting some sort of joy and gratification from, learning is not just about being able to preform in a job setting.
