Summary

This quote suggests that true education is not simply about accumulating knowledge or being well-informed. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of experiencing and being profoundly affected by the meaningful events that occur in one's life. It highlights the transformative power of engaging in the ups and downs, joys and struggles, and significant moments that shape our understanding of the world and ourselves. Through such vulnerable exposure, education becomes a process of personal growth and development, fostering a deeper understanding and empathy towards the complexities of the human experience.
