It is senseless to pay tuition to educate a fool since he has no heart for learning.
– Proverbs 17:16(NLT)
NO HEART FOR LEARNING
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you try to tell a fool something
Be ready to be ignored; he is not listening
They have no heart for learning or following
They only want to satisfy their cravings.
It is futile to teach fools; they are unteachable
When you connect to them, they are unreachable
Do not waste your time or effort on them
They have no care to other people’s help.

I have been in relationships with many foolish people in the past. I myself was foolish for many decades in my life. I believed that I have all the answers if I just search hard and long for it. I mostly relied on my intelligence and resourcefulness without knowing that it was all a gift from God. It was a long process until I was able to recognize that if I do things on my own, I will always be making mistakes. When God revealed to me that I was full of pride, I began to see what role he was playing in all those booboos I made. It was senseless for others to teach me because I was so arrogant to even hear anything other people said. When I succumb to God’s guidance, things changed.

It is senseless to educate a fool, since he has no heart for learning. -Proverbs 17:16(NLT)
A HEART FOR LEARNING
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you keep putting limits to your ability
You are missing out on discovering your full capacity
A wise person has openness to new things
A fool clings to old ways of doing and thinking.
It is senseless to educate a fool, they like resisting
Don’t waste your time or they will be arguing
The wise always keeps an open mind and heart
They hunger for explorations and getting a new start

One of the joys of being a teacher is getting to know students who have the heart for learning. This is a novelty in our society today. We live in a world of information explosion. We are bombarded with many different views and it is not very easy to filter or monitor what we need to take in and throw out. There are much facts flying all over social media. We need to be wise to know which ones will benefit us or which ones will harm us. Those who are wise are like sponges, they hold all the things you teach them. The foolish are like rocks, you can not teach them anything because they are impenetrable. The bible says that it is useless to teach a fool because their stubbornness and pride keeps them from learning.
