Academic knowledge VS. Knowledge of life

HELLO! :)

Do you think a person should have a higher education?

I believe that higher education does not guarantee anything. That's literally nothing. Human qualities are important. What matters is how a person relates to life and to himself. I believe that a huge amount of knowledge, facts, placed in a small human brain render a disservice if they are not used.

In my opinion it is much more important that a person is intelligent, vital, and not academically.

Yes, it's great to be an educated person, to be a well-read person, to understand history and other spheres. After all, when you know and understand a lot, the World looks like a more holistic picture. Life becomes more full. Life becomes more interesting. But this will not be compared to such an eternal science, "as an understanding of oneself."

In general, every person is unique, everyone has a zest, just, unfortunately, not everyone knows about it and develops, grows its zest, killing itself in boring work, completely unaware of its goals and desires.
