Education.


Each generation must be educated from scratch.

When a child is born he is like a blank sheet.

His character contains certain potentialities he has inherited from his parents.

But the child knows nothing.

So the process of education begins again.

He must be taught to be good.

He must be taught not to use violence.

He must be taught to think of others.

He must be taught to practise virtues.

He must be taught how to think.

And he must be taught how to pray.

Education is not just job training.

The child must be taught how to become truly human.

And he must be shown how to love.
