And it is in the whole educational system, that we must educate people to become capable and to take their place in society. That has value, obviously. But it's not quite the same thing as to educate people to relate, to listen, to help people to become themselves.
In the book "Becoming Wise," Krista Tippett emphasizes the importance of education in shaping individuals who can contribute positively to society. She suggests that while traditional educational systems focus on preparing students for societal roles, there is a deeper aspect of education that fosters interpersonal skills and self-discovery.
Tippett argues that education should not only aim to produce competent members of society but also nurture the ability to connect with others, listen actively, and help individuals grow into their true selves. This holistic approach to education values personal development alongside societal contributions.
