Whats is an Educated person?

I have an uncle.. a desi- party uncle, not related to me by bloood.

Educated person to me is someone with emotional maturity, tact and someone who has the power to persuade people into going to hell in a way that they look forward to it.

yeah I agree

I also think an 'educated' person is a patient person, because the negative attributes of that uncle in particular are reflective in his low levels in patience .. It is fascinating though, while this western education system is definitely enhancing our overall knowledge.. it doesn't really contribute to making us better people?

I think the knowledge that you cram in to pass your exams is useless if there is no virtue or real desire to make a difference to your personality. I value experiences that shape and refine you as a person over book learning anyday. Anyone can lock themselves up and rot learn to get a degree or what people like to call "education"... nothing to go around thumping your chest for if you have grown up with, surrounded with and seen people with a degrees around you. 😆

yeah thats true .. the only thing I value from a degree or education is when it has been completed. because you have set yourself a task and you have completed it . It's important to complete what you have started... in everything and education is a lesson in that.. .( again patience)..but apart from that I can tell you a degree in dentistry teaches me 5% max of the subject and likewise medicine a degree in it teaches you 1% of the human body and its 'medicine' .. as with any other subject matter ... learning is endless and there is not one subject that we know its entirety .. anyway thats off track I guess

Educated person for me is someone who can apply his knowledge into action. He should not only be compassionate but have basic courtesy too and a level of commitment to achieve its goals. Education is not about how may degrees you got, its about how you apply your knowledge in a way that will reveal true virtues out of you which is a true intelligence. He is not only with good judgement but question assumptions as well, and has a broad thinking with very much flexible attitude -- even accept his mistakes, criticism and keep working upon themselves. Oh! i have seen some folks who are so rigid, that difference in opinion will make them all huff and puff, and they go on and on just to prove themselves right no matter how much lack of knowledge they display and they look daft 😆. --- i can continue with this but i think less is more. :P

Educated person is he/she who has the ability to shut the mouth of idiots 😆
