What is Extraordinary Life & What is Education?

Krishnamurti said that:



We must understand all that is life;



The conflicts: The constant battle between groups, races and nations, the subtle, hidden things of the mind-the envies, the ambitions, the passions, the fears, fulfillments and anxieties.





The extraordinary: All life is extraordinary, the earth and all the animals and plants on it and everything else, all are extraordinary.



If people do not understand that whole process of life, then they will miss that whole point of life. They will not understand how extraordinary life is and will not live it to their upmost potential, and instead will decay, deteriorate, and whither away.



If people understand the battles in themselves and be free of them, their world will transform; they will no longer suffer in conflicts within, and they will have right relationship and passion for all lives; between two people, all humans, all animals and the earth.



If education does not help people to understand life then it is meaningless, because in order to live a good life it is necessary to know what life is all about, and it is necessary to have intelligence; the capacity to think freely without fear, without having to conform, in order to discover what is true.
