Charlotte Mason talks about What happens when the mind is not fed with living ideas?
We fail to grow a passion for learning.And we believe School education and college education is the end of education.If we fail to continue the process of learning our intelligence becomes un exercised and we become close minded.Education is a life long process where we feed our mind on good literature and broaden our thought process.
