Education is expensive, but ignorance is more
The problem with universities among Arabs is that they do not graduate people who understand life and know its arts. They give them books and tell them: Read them to succeed. When the first year passes, the students forget what they learned in it, and for this reason I do not believe in the education of universities or schools. Rather, as many wise people said, education begins after universities, but with this I say to those who refrain from studying and completing it and say: Education is expensive and requires time, money, effort, fatigue and staying up late, so what do you say about ignorance? Ignorance is the greatest loss and scandal for a person, and more than all of this is the one who possesses complex ignorance, and we see many of them these days who say that the pen is a ruler and swear to that. Not only were these people ignorant of the reality of the pen, but they called it by another name. This is an example, and there are more examples. They happen to us and we see them among those who are called (the stubborn ones).
