Mostly life teaches you things that you cannot simply find from reading and writing. We are limited to our hands and eyes, acquire and interpret information to our head. Life is much more, it appeals to all our senses of touch, smell, sight, feeling and so on. Different experiences are valuable, different emotions are valuable. Anger is mostly deemed the destructive emotion, one is suggested to refrain away from it. However, fear teaches us to not cross the red-line, Sadness teaches us about the consequences of our expectations, Joy teaches us to be hopeful ,and great-full. The world feels like a pale blue dot in the heavens, but yet it is almost a never ending horizon to our sights. Everything is fashioned so beautifully ,and with complete meaning. We strive to be a loving person for people, all around the world. We should strive for good company and also help those who need it. We should be able to share our thoughts, persuade different individuals in positive limelight. Make a difference with our hearts!

I hope that what follows goes well with the gist of your thread: "The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom."
Isaac Asimov
It's me again, Wahid Khan,
I also hope that what follows goes well with the gist of your thread:
As i said elsewhere, I think that one of the greatest problems of our time and world is that there many who are schooled/instructed but there are few who are educated. No education is the case when kindness, empathy, sympathy, compassion, moral integrity and the like are in lack.
In this vein, there is no substitute for education. Of course, education is costly. But if you are not satisfied with it, try ignorance and look at its outcomes, results, consequences or effects in people's, societies' countries' whole functioning.
That's a good point, Mr. Orlando, ignorance is definitely an issue as well. The scariest part about ignorance is how often it's given silent treatment. Hidden ignorance affects our society due to arrogance and the lack of our abilities to make our own proper judgments. Mostly due to prioritizing our own personal framework, often we forget to value the opinion of others. It is also a type of ignorance. Overestimating our values and criticizing the general rule of order.
You also make good points, Wahid Khan. As you say, hidden ignorance affects our society due to arrogance and the lack of our abilities to make our own proper judgments. And, of course, too often, our ignorance impeds us from putting on another's skin and shoes.
Needless to say, one's ability to put on another's skin and shoes is a hallmark of the wise and of his/her availability to be empathic, sympathetic and compassionate to others and even nature. Of those people who are in lack of wisdom we can rightly say that they are more existing than properly living. Unfortunately we have much of this in the current world.
