While credentials can be integral to job preparation, applicable education, however, is the vital means by which we explore theory and reason, relevancy, artistic reconnaissance, intellectual acumen, psychological conditioning, refractory questions, and the accumulation of said summations that would substantiate the innate gifts we each possess.
When education is sought only as a means to an end, it ceases to yield value; for those who seek its letters as merely a mark of recognition on an otherwise meritless resume, such fool themselves, gravely discounting the pursuit of excellence and mindful intelligence, in favor of abysmal ignorance, printed upon the disenfranchised despondency of an often argued, dissected, and comparison-driven paycheck.
Ergo: greed. Yield: artificial need. Epilogue: certain depression.
While universities should be respected and lauded as foundations of formal achievement, it is only through a mindset that would voraciously seek the continuation of learning - as if through a child's eyes (with curiosity and an insatiable need that could never be harnessed, bridled, nor confined) - that such could ever successfully contend against the propagation of incumbent rhetoric or disingenuous dogma.
Knowledge is an infinite quest, granting each of its students an unerring library of thought and consideration, experience, and idealism -- yes, a vast and veritable prolific garden of intractable truth.
True education not only encourages singular thought and the allowance for the possibility of untried consequence, but it also relishes and supports any and all of the above as a significance that would and could contribute a mark upon this world.
In layman's terms: I suspect that one could learn a vastness of wisdom and knowledge by simply interviewing one of our elderly, truly receiving their life's actualization over and above any kind of prideful mark embossed upon shiny letterhead.
Let that sink in.
Drenched in humility.
For while there will always be one who solely seeks income, there will equally stand alone a spirit who is mindful, soul-filled, ponderous, and yet so incredibly floored by even the most humble inheritance.
In this world, we either have the choice to seek gain, or reap meaning to enjoy eternity.
