  1. Education is not merely acquiring knowledge, gathering and correlating facts; it is to see the significance of life as a whole. But the whole cannot be approached through the part, which is what governments, organised religions and authoritarian parties are attempting to do. The function of education is to create human beings who are integrated and therefore intelligent. We may take degrees and be mechanically efficient without being intelligent. Intelligence is not mere information; it is not derived from books, nor does it consist of clever self-defensive responses and aggressive assertions. One who has not studied may be more intelligent than the learned. We have made examinations and degrees the criterion of intelligence and have developed cunning minds that avoid vital human issues. Intelligence is the capacity to perceive the essential, the ‘what is’. To awaken this capacity, in oneself and in others, is education.

  9. #Day146 of #365HappyDays : it’s not even 7am here yet, but I already have my #happy moment for today. This image shows a moving van, that’s moved my ex-wife today from the flat of the friend with whom she’s been staying since moving back to Australia after our divorce into her new home.

    I’m genuinely really very happy for her that she’s getting her stuff together and making a new home for herself.
