There was a time when I caught one of the street children opening my backpack. I realized, how will education turn black crimes pale when those who omit these crimes cannot afford education? There are also those who educated themselves yet, still do deceitful doings at will. That’s why I have doubts in this stanza. Yes, it can change someone. It can produce teachers, engineers, accountants and managers but, it’s true power is somehow mulled by those who fail to give importance to it.
Nowadays, people go to school for grades and to earn a degree, and not to learn living life with the right values and morals. Written with conviction, the poem made me realize how education would be useless without religion. In the third stanza, the vessel struck by winds represents how a human Journeys In a life full of challenges and difficulties. Though life continually goes on when you are educated, It Is still like a helm deprived when religious teachings and guidance are not Included.
Life would be out of control with paths unclear and undecided. Some may even result to ending his or her life in unexpected circumstances. In an Instance, a person may successfully earn a college degree, but when struggles come Just Like the strong winds of Tempestuous Borers, he or she may not arrive when the cruelty of life measures his or her dignity and strength to overcome these trials. One concrete example of that downfall Is an act of suicidal.
There are a lot of people who are gifted with higher IIS, but they would easily give up when their plans would not go Like the way they planned It to be. They lack spiritual guidance In which they would have Just experienced If they believe and have faith In God. Religious education does not only teach us what Is right and wrong, but It Instills In our hearts and minds how to be a real human- a human who has knowledge and faith In God In whatever he or she does.
