This is so true. But we do not wish to see the ugliness, we do not like to go through pain. How can we enjoy life to the fullest if we do not have a combination of all these? If we don't "discover" life, what is the purpose of life itself.
All our education focuses on training us to conform to a system. Whereas it should bring about an integrated individual who is capable of dealing with life as a whole. If we are just implanting existing values into the mind of a child to make him conform to ideals, how can he awaken his intelligence? Why not educate a child without imposing an ideal of what "we" think should be.
Think about this. If your child lies, what is the use of telling him the ideal of truth. Why not observe him and find out "why" he is telling lies. Instead of forcing the child to tell truth, understand him.
