57: EDUCATION (On Inability of Modern Education to Produce a Mature Mind) |
|
“People today indeed do tend to be very superficial in their
thinking, and it would seem as if the educational systems in use
are sorely lacking in ability to produce a mature mind in a
person who has reached supposedly adult life! All the outside
influences that surround the individual seem to have an intensely
distracting effect, and it is a hard job to get the average
person to do any deep thinking or even a little meditation on the
problems facing him and the world at large.

“Over and over again Bahá’u’lláh cried out against the heedlessness
of humanity, and warns of the fate such an attitude
must lead to. Did we not know what God plans to, and will
do, with the world in the future, we should certainly be as
hopeless as many of the best thinkers of our generation have
become.”
