True education only can give you peace and happiness

Its truly said that education has the divine eyes. Human always strives for happiness. The most common parameter for happiness is the accumulation of wealth. For a small kid getting his favorite toy, clothes or even chocolate my provide happiness but it soon vanishes and we have another object in our priority as a criterion for happiness. The objects might change but this attitude remains as it is as we become older and this continues till we die. The desire of human being is endless and the lust never dies, it changes from on object to another and our pursuit for peace and happiness remains as it is.The question is then how can we enjoy this happiness which seems to be an illusion? The answer is only true education can help us to reach this happiness. Since education goes beyond boundaries and books and liberates our mind it is the only solution to this problem. We often confuse literacy with education but to acquire knowledge we must first achieve literacy. This is the minimum prerequisite in the pursuit of knowledge.We cannot ignore the importance of materialistic needs. But we have to define our own limits as our necessity for and mere accumulation of these goods must not provide us the sense of achievement and pride. People who are truly educated can understand this. There is no end for these lusts and only contentment can salvage us from this lust and ignorance. So for contentment and happiness we must first strive for education. The school has to play an important role in transforming our thoughts and society. It must not be a mere place to make one literate rather they must try to make their children a good human first. Its unfortunate that even lots nearly half of our kids are not getting the education and are out of the schools. The rest half are becoming good professional but looser at the social front. This discrepancy has to be changed in our education system. The stress must be given in salvaging our moral and value system which is on verge of extinction but firstly we have to pose as a role model for younger one by possessing good character.
