budaatum:could you please elaborate on education so someone out there doesn't misunderstand the message you're trying to pass. Because we have lots of "educated" people these days but it still doesn't reflect positively on the type of society we have out there. Blessed morning to you. 52 Likes 4 Shares |

Tenrack:I felt I should have elaborated, and hoped I'd be asked, and here is knowledgeable you doing precisely that. Education is the process of acquisition of knowledge and the understanding of it. The Bible would have it explained as the below, and here is a link for those inclined to our other main faith. I have called it an investment because the rewards of it are only fully reaped long after its acquisition. 5 Likes
