Education is the cure for Ignorance
How can education be defined?A very interesting answer goes like this,"Educations is a
progressive discovery of our own ignorance."It means ,from my point of view,the more
we have learned,the more we will find we need to learn.
One of the reasons is that we are eager to,get rid of ignorance.Frankly speaking,this
goal can hardly be achieved.For one thing,the massive amounts of information in the
constantly developing world makes it impossible for anyone to acquire it all.For another,
our limited time and energy usually confine us to only a tiny part of the knowledge,with
the rest untouched.Chances are that education helps us realize the situation more clearly.
However,the discovery of our ignorance is a real stimulus for us to keep learning.The
newly acquired knowledge will frequently expose us to some unfamiliar but interesting
domains.The continuous acquisition of such new knowledge clearly manifests the value of
education.
Since ignorance,in a sense,seems to be the result and drive of education at the same
time,it is reasonable to keep receiving education in all our life.In other words, a
lifelong education is the very cure for our ignorance.+9
