“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all”
-Aristole
Reflection: The real meaning of education is to open the door of mind and windows of heart. That means you are studying not only to earn money but also to serve humanity. If you hole yourself up and study for the sake of having knowledge then sure, you'll be intelligent, but what good would it do you? An educated heart would be educated in the practice of self-knowledge. It is to understand yourself before you understand the world. To truly know yourself is far more difficult than science and mathematics. People tend to think too highly or too little of themselves, without ever truly understanding whom they really are. An educated heart would be educated about affections, and the ways of interaction.
