A few questions...
Does education make a person more humble? Rather, isn't making a person more humble, the true purpose of education? I am not talking about degrees here...I am talking about enlightenment of the mind, widening of perspective,becoming aware of others living with you in this world etc etc.
What leads to the "I am always right and things should be the way I keep them" attitude in people? How to make such people aware that their way is only one of the possible ways and that someone might be preferring things totally differently? How do people get that "Others are all wrong and only I am right" attitude? And what do you do to make such people realize that it is they who are actually wrong this time? Personally speaking, I get amazed with such people...
Another question is when and how does a human being become aware of others around him/her? Aware that there are other people also sharing the space with you! A few examples -- When one sees people driving or walking on the roads. They choose to happily drift or take sudden turns, oblivious to the fact that there are hundreds of other people on the same road too! Or when people play loudspeakers in the middle of the night partying and are not even aware that someone might be studying next door for his exams! A couple of days ago I again saw a woman pour bucket full of water from her first floor flat on the road below...She did not even bother to see if there was anyone walking there!!
But I also wonder if education should make you more tolerant and accommodating in nature? And what does becoming more tolerant imply? You develop a "Chalta hai yaar...Jaane do yaar" attitude?
