On elite education

All of us know, 'Grade 2' is better than 'Grade 1' in terms of education. And so on the pattern goes. Say you become a doctor, completing your PhD. Heck, you are so great, a single PhD doesn't even cut it. You do four of them and can be officially called an 'Erudite'. You have a father who hasn't studied as much for whatever reasons he might have had. In terms of education, you are surely superior to your father. You have studied more and accomplished more in the field.

Here's a question then, are you superior to your father? If it was asked of me, I would say 'No' to my last breath. I am of the thought that you share the same sentiments with me. You become a King, and you go to your father to tell him 'Hey dad, I am a King'. Your father can say 'Haha, I am the father of a King'.

What we achieve or accomplish is limited to the field. You maybe superior in terms of education, but being superior as a person is an entirely different question, as we have explored above.

Sometimes we forget this vague boundary separating the fields we excel in. You don't get too big to thank a waiter for something he or she has done, and I am not talking about a tip. We as people are entitled people, far luckier. We don't get to judge people less fortunate than us simply on the basis of their bad fortune. Simply put, we mustn't call uneducated people 'dumb' or 'crazy' and justify their every action as such. They can be smarter than us, in an argument, they can be right. Just them being uneducated shouldn't be held too much against them, to not even deal with them with civility and respect they deserve.
