And our success is dependent on our abilities to obey these laws. In short, nature examines us based on our knowledge of them. King David once said
" Because I know Thine laws, I am wiser than my teachers, and I have more understanding than elders" (Ps. 119:99-100). The knowledge of laws actually makes you wise, wiser than your teachers.
I have also gone through formal education and find it interesting and expository. Education exposes you to many fields that can expand your views and perception about life. But when education becomes just a pathway to gain a certificate to acquire a job, it losses its taste and goal. I have seen many educated people fail to practice what they have been taught in school. In my country citizenship education is compulsory. It is a subject that exposes educands to patriotism, diligence, honesty, and faithfulness. But it is quite disappointing to see that after this enlightenment professors are the main election riggers and graduate because of few dollars sell their conscience. Regardless of the technological, political, economically, advancement of education, if it doesn't lead to a just, safe, trusted, and egalitarian society (social development), it is a waste of time and resources.
