The Achievment of Desire. (Anthimos Michael)

From a part of the book " The Achievment of Desire." the book tells a story about the writers life through his childhood until he became an adult. Living in a poor working spanish family, he describes the problems tgat he faced doing what he loved, going to school and studying. He found out that education is a bad thing besides all the advantages that it gives. He lost the connection and respect for his family. As a child he loved studying, but it was hard for him to study at home. His parentes were not educated and were too noisy in the house. When he asked his father for a math problem, and seeing his father couldn't help him he took the book and told him that he will figure it out by himself loosing every respect for his father knowledge. Therefore he got the idea that he knew more than his parents and never asked them for help. He was ashamed for his parents and was wishing that he had parents lke the teachers in school. Those were educated. He tried to do whatever the teachers were saying and eventually he became an excellent student winning mant awards. But his disrespect for his parents remained. His mother was positive about education and push him but his father was not. He though that the education was not that good. Only when he graduated from college he realized his mistake and what he lost. The love of the family and even know on a question of his mother he looked down on them answering in a way they could understand. This concluded his idea why education is bad because it takes away the time with family and friends.
In my opinion, even though education is taking time from me and my other activities in the long run it will be beneficial for me. So i don't see why education is bad. In addition i might lost some time from my family but its not something that they are against. Also what comes in mind is that too much of one thing always have some bad effects and in a way the writer was studying too much so the bad effects was to loose his family time.
