What is something that can never be taken away?
Natalia J 52132129-Apr-25
Education is something that can never be taken away from you. Once upon a time, someone said to me, Your education is something that no one can ever take from you." That has stayed with me all these years and I realize why this is one of the most famous educational quotes. It's not only true, but also yours to own. What would you say? What is something that can never be taken away?

        If you're a positive person your spirit can't be taken away

          My soul. It belongs to Jesus and can never be taken away.

            That is really true I agree with you. Education could be another example, but remember if we don't keep on top of it, it faded away. For instance, doctors, lawyer and all profession need to keep upgrading themselves in order to keep on top, but accepting Jesus as your saviour can never be taken away by anyone.

          It most certainly is true. Ones education always stands you in good stead and one is never too old to learn either.

                A good question for the released hostages .. l would say one's fight or fire / fight for survival. Also imagination ,love and yes education but moreover in the form of life lessons.

                  Life is an education every single day and I believe we learn something new everyday and self respect is something that you can always hold onto

                                  Nice quote. I still remember sayings we used at school to remember things like how many days in each month. Learning by " rote" really sticks. What you can't take away? I suppose for me it's the passage of time. The year goes by so fast and there are more years behind me than what will be ahead. That and wrinkles lol.

                                            What strikes me on this subject is others trying to constantly take anything they can take from others in today’s world whether it be physical or otherwise in any way they can with desperation

                                                    Alas, time makes fools of us all. You don't lose things overnight but time does have an effect on what you originally thought you had for ever - when you try to remember a poem or a song or your favourite flower's name it occasionally won't comeback to you, sometimes it's forever.

OK cant take away once your a parent, your a parent for life, but others things I've read people have sed, like faith, memories, strength of character, can be smashed if you are traumatised for long enough & hard enough til ur spririt is so broken there's no coming back from it. I won't go on, bc I find this is triggering a conversation for me, I don't want to have. I'll leave you with something positive out of this (I hope), DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE FOR GRANTED,....AS IT CAN ALWAYS BE TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU! Live well. x

That's before death do us apart. Sadly, it happens more often when technology & science saves / prolongs lives.

There is still probably Countries where every one doesn't get educated as such. Like someone learns from parents friends and surroundings, not a school or teachers. People loose their education easily by forgetting it, or when they get to a certain old age they loose their education. Some one can't loose their brain or their heart, or else they are no longer them selves they are dead.
