Quote by David P. Gardner

We learn simply by the exposure of living. Much that passes for education is not education at all but ritual. The fact is that we are being educated when we know it least.

We learn simply by the exposure of living. Much that passes

Summary

This quote suggests that true education is not solely confined to the formal settings of schools or institutions. Instead, education is a continuous process that occurs through our everyday life experiences. It implies that education is not just about acquiring knowledge through traditional means, but rather through the act of living and being open to learning from our surroundings. The quote also emphasizes that education often occurs unconsciously or unexpectedly, when we may not even realize that we are being educated. Furthermore, it implies that many rituals mistaken for education may not genuinely contribute to one's growth and learning.
