"Rewards and punishment is the lowest form of education"
- Zhuangzi
About this Quote
Zhuangzi believes that utilizing benefits and punishment as a way of education is not effective and is a bad way of mentor. He likely believes that using these methods only teaches individuals to behave a specific way to prevent penalty or acquire a benefit, rather than really comprehend the worth and meaning behind the lessons being taught. Instead, he might promote for a more holistic and philosophical method to education.
"I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college. People should educate themselves - you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and I'd written a thousand stories"
