When have you ever read anything? Do you just believe what people tell you?
I was with someone recently and was talking about political matters in our society and they said, ‘how do you know all this? Do you read a lot?’
I am not someone to criticise strata of society about which I know little and whose traditions I have only ever witnessed from the outside … but really? If there is anyone in the world who says this and has had access to reading, then I have to be critical of the educational standard they have grown up within. How can you progress is your society if you do not know how it works and what the political fault lines represent and where they fall? Goodness, how can you even be self critical?
