It is beneficial in the sense that the knowledge we have can be used to avoid distractions in our daily life. We can use it to do a lot of useful work especially if we have a job (normal or not). In addition, we can use it to create or build our own businesses that can generate more revenue.

Today, for some people they place a high value on education. In particular, students work hard to achieve their dreams and that includes graduating from higher education to get the degree they desire.

Still, having a degree is not the most important thing in life. I do not encourage anyone to stop learning now, that is, for me, attitude, patience and a great mind are more powerful than just being taught. But, yes, having a degree is also important as it provides somehow as an edge. Those who love to criticize will not look down on us as we know we are proud of them. However, being responsible and wise in our approach to success in life even though we do not have a degree is the best reward we can have. Also, there is no doubt that it is a better thing to be proud of than to be good at education.

I believe that our attitude is more important than our access to education. There are people who did not finish their education, but look now they are living a good life. Some of them may not have a very rich life, but they are still happy and blessed because they have a good heart.

On the other hand, there are those who are well-educated who are always on the lookout for their education. They think that because they have graduated from college, they are already at the top of our society which is impossible, in their dreams. Other than that, I may be sick of thinking this way, but I am very annoyed by educated people who are not light-hearted even though these latter can do better than them. They use their diploma to beat other people (figuratively speaking) without considering the abilities of others.

I have a story I really wanted to share with you as it relates to our topic today. I don’t want to just keep it inside me as I feel like I need to express my thoughts right now in order to atleast relieve the pressure. Although, it is not my personal problem, but I am affected because the people involved are part of my family. They are my relatives whom I consider to be the most important part of my life.

So, there is an ongoing argument between my aunt and my cousin. At first, I try my best to stand up for them and, as far as possible, I should not pick just one of them to support myself. But, over time, the truth took root and I could not help but stand on my aunt's side instead of on my cousin's side.

Yet this is what happened between the aunt and the cousin.
My aunt graduated from high school, although she wanted to finish college at a young age, their financial strength prevented her from completing her higher education. But, despite having no qualifications, she is responsible, hardworking, and very capable.

On the other hand, I have this cousin who I thought was right. He has not finished college but will soon have his degree at the end of this semester. Toward the end of his college career, he began to put pride in his mind and heart. He started pretending to be superior and eventually lost respect for the less educated, including my aunt.

That cousin of mine has been slandering my aunt and is now embroiled in a controversy over his social media account.

On the other hand my aunt is a good person, but her patience is about to run out. As a result, she could not hold back from expressing her anger, and that is why the battle between them is so fierce. We and their family are trying to silence them but I do not know when this will subside.

Another thing that bothers me is that the mother-in-law chooses to support her daughter's wrongdoings instead of teaching her morals. Maybe, I thought, they have the same behavior that his mother influenced him to be. I hope his father (my mother's brother) will teach them lessons instead of fixing the problem and we can have a peaceful family too.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

Having a positive attitude is better than teaching but not being morally upright. Those who are humble will be blessed with more than those who choose to be proud just because they have a degree.

Life is like a wheel. Sometimes we stay on top, and sometimes below. Therefore, it is better to be kind and courteous than to be proud just because we have a higher education than anyone else. We still have to look at what other people can do and, we will not just take them for granted.

Always remember that a well-behaved person (no matter where he or she has access to education) can be much brighter than those who are educated but immoral.
