What is an educated person for you guys just a question i had in mind,characteristics,manners,values,morals,etc .The way they act etc..Thanks:)
 
One simple word; modesty. One can have a lot of knowledge and know-how; the willingness to share it and not boast about it in my books stands golden.
The cover doesn't always tell everything about a person's knowledge; manners might be so-so even on an educated person.

I think this is a good question for debate. I just personally feel that whatever education one has, it's better to be more modest about it. Just my opinion ... Some educated people have actually bad manners when they boast about the schools they've gone to etc.
I think that's bad taste; I think your actions in everyday life count more than the schools and education you've received. And I know people who have good education but poor everyday skills or know-how powers.

yep school means nothing, people can learn things but there are some other things that arent available at school,such as Wisdom,patience,respect,Honesty, among others...Modesty is something that is not that easy to get.

Yep besides we as humans we still have so much left to learn...
 
Humbleness, long suffering, patient, kind, generous, quiet, recollected, charitable.

Our bodies and our minds are designed specifically to cope with suffering. The human has the capacity for more long term physical endurance than any other mammal, and our minds have the ability to plan far ahead and for abstract contingencies. Man has attempted to elevate himself above the brutality of nature, but it can be seen that even in the absence of survival-type challenges man's mind will create new forms of suffering to impose upon himself.

Agree that s the reason some civilizations "prevailed" and some others didnt .We can take more long term physical endurance than any other mammal that is true.But as you have stated we have created new forms of suffering that we impose upon ourselves...And unto others too
 
When we learn to suffer with grace it becomes a blessing. To live is to suffer, finding meaning in the suffering is the root of happiness. And remember, the root of suffering is attachment. When you can let go of the corporal things in this world you start to gain spiritual enlightenment. You will quickly realize that the thing you thought you needed so badly only held you back from what will truly make you happy. All things of this world are transitory, entropy happens all around us and we tend to go for things that will make us feel better when we suffer. The problem with this is it is temporary and short lived and after the suffering remains or even becomes worse. If a man truly wants to find his joy in this pilgrimage he needs to let go of all things corporal (of the flesh) and attain to all things of higher value, virtues of the Spirit. "Corporal works of mercy" which concern the material needs of self and others. "Spiritual works of mercy" which concern the spiritual needs of self and others.

Let go and let God is the best way to sum this up!

Yes :) "Civilization" essentially means the compact we make with each other to get along. Too often this gets conflated with the level of technology and comfort.

And in an age where getting along is near impossible. If everyone tried to imitated Jesus in all things the world would be so much happier.

Remember what was said by Jesus and I am paraphrasing; "There will be wars and earthquakes, famines and disease, nation against nation, but remember, these things must happen before I come, these are the start of the birthing pains"

Both Spiritual and Physical world are screwed. It is so important to follow the Bible and ignore man's version of God's word. The Word of God is sufficient, nothing added or taken away, it is perfect. The only time the Word of God suffers is when man pollutes it!

true when the word of God gets distorted, every man can use the word to get their desires...

There is where the problem is, God's Word is pure, true, perfect and needs nothing added or taken away. The problem with religion is the second man touches the Word of God it becomes his own version. The distortion can become so bad that it makes it very hard for any Christian to know if he is following the Word of God or the word of man. Man changes the Gospels and Scriptures to fit an agenda that is not from Christ, but from the church. Jesus told us very plainly this would be the case when He said "“See to it that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come" and in another Gospel He said "they are about to take place?” 8Jesus answered, “See to it that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them. 9When you hear of wars and rebellions, do not be alarmed. These things must happen first, but the end is not imminent." So we were forewarns and we can see this prophesy playing out all around us.
 
"However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.


True We can see terrible things around us and even bad things happen to us.In the mean time i want to get to 9 in lenght whit a decent girth Hope i get to that size ASAP,my LM should help me to get there..
