Why are the nicest people...

Hmmmm

So according to Nadia uneducated people are ‘really nice’ and according to Matsui (Thread)](http://www.gupistan.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=157084) they are ‘really smelly’.

I wonder what else uneducated people are meant to be like.

…generally the ones with the least amount of formal education. Is there some inverse relationship there - the greater your formal education, generally speaking, the less advanced your social/kindness skills.

Generally, the nicest people i have met, the most humble, the most generous, the most thoughtful, the most articulate, the most sensible, are the ones with the least formal education. It’s like - once you enter the corridors of an advanced educational institution, your brain becomes warped and you lose your humanity. Gross exaggeration? Yes. But i have underlined the word general three times so don’t jump down my throat

Every time i meet wonderful people and, usually, they are not formally educated. Doesn’t matter which culture. IMHO it applies in every society. But they are people whose loss would make this world a far poorer place. Must be some inverse relationship somewhere.

I agree with you 1000%. Formal education inculcates treachery and deceit. Diplomacy for example is what u learn while in Institutes. Behaving to the tune of what others require take out the true person out of you…

"Education is the crutch of fools to mock the wise" - Jonathan Swift

There is a world of difference between literacy and education...A litereate person can always be educated, but an educated person does not always become literate...

Some would argue that there is no difference between being educated and being literate...It is the same difference as there is between being wise and being clever...
