Life is so complex

Life is so complex. A person who is not educated, life remains so simple for him. He laughs when he gets a little happiness. He cries when he suffers from a loss or injury. There is answer in GOD for every trifles of life. However, an educated person thinks so much before acting. He has to think so much about the repercussions for his actions. He has to earn. After earning he has to think how to pay taxes. If he fails, what will happen? This is the feeling which haunts him everytime, everyday. It is said knowledge brings freedom; freedom to thoughts, ideas, working style, quantum of money that can be expended. But why don't people think before defining education in this way that education brings forth a fearful person; a person who always fears that he should break any law of the land. He fears that his boss should not become angry by any of his actions. He fears he should not fall short of his target to lose his job. He fears he should not lose his families ties due to extra involvement in the professional area. An educated man lives with so many fears. We may not be able to count. This is not so with an uneducated man. It can be better said more knowledge, more confusion, more laws, more obligations, more projects, more and more..... Education actually binds a man to social, political, professional, global, environmental and so many uncountable norms. Does an uneducated man thinks what will happen to environment if all the trees in his neighbourhood are cut down? He would be rather happy if you cut a tree and give him some wood free for fire or for selling. It is said education brings power/ authority and authority brings responsibility. But where is power. If you fight unjustice, corruption etc. with the power of your knowledge, most of the time it doesnot change a thing but inflicts upon you only a ton of problems.
