"The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead." Aristotle

     Existence, and the consciousness that comes with is truly the greatest gift. To take advantage of, and utilize this consciousness is indeed an art form, while knowledge, is the paint. But similar to painting in the modern world, knowledge isn’t acquired easily.  You may have to buy the paint. In fact, that is education. Acquiring knowledge. Whether from a store or just using some crushed berries you do indeed need to acquire it unless you want a blank canvas.  Reality, is the canvas. And education is the paint. But education, is the tube, bottle, brush, and creative force.  Without education, you and this said painting might as well be dead.
