I feel a little the snob, because I forget some people have a poorer educational standard than me here!

I am constantly surprised by how many people struggle with conceptualisation of things written. Even these words might prove confusing for some, and I find it quite a tragedy that so many rebelled against education instead of realising how education is a great equaliser, and they can come from the poorest of circumstances but getting the most out of education can lift them up into a better world than perhaps their families are used to.

Education IS everything! You can achieve great things by working extremely hard at getting the most out of your state-focussed educational obligations. Two hundred years ago, even less, the working classes were essentially illiterate and the hard-won opportunities that various Christian organisations in the Western societies fought for through the political processes. Social pressures still figure when your peers are all unconcerned with being educated, and you want to make something of yourself.

Very true but sadly we live in an unequal world where education is not enough.
There are many opportunities that are not made available to the working classes, with the occasional exception for someone who displays a prodigious talent.

You can spew many words, but what is that in the end?
What ultimately matters is, what can you do?
If you can blather on, sounding important to yourself, what does that actually matter if you're just a bombast?
