Murali, Knowledge and wisdom??? All they do today, is teach from a book, and at times, insert their own warped opinions. Even as long ago as I went to college, I found a college education to be no more than a smattering of fundamentals in your chosen field, and four more years to grow up.
I'm not delusional, but I do get angry at pompous academics acting like they are above others in any size, shape, form, or fashion. In a large part, they are those that were too lazy to get a job, so the became professional students for a number of years, and had no other skills than to attempt to teach. They impart nothing because they don't have enough original thoughts to generate anything worth imparting. They are not wise, so cannot impart wisdom. They are just holding down a cushy job, and praying for tenure. They could not care less about how their former students fare in life after university, IMO.
I have known some very wise people in the, now advanced, years of my life, and none of them were college professors. They were people that had learned about the world as it is, not as it is portrayed in text books. They learned, first hand, not by being forced to accept the personal opinions of some addle brained person that happened to get a text book published. Opinions are opinions, and cannot be confused with facts. ~H~ |
