Lost Anything Lately?

What avail is it to win prescribed amounts of information about geography and history, to win ability to read and write, if in the process the individual loses his own soul: loses the appreciation of things worth while, of the value to which these things are relative;  if he loses desire to apply what he has learned and, above all, loses the ability to extract meaning from his future experiences as they occur?
