“I was the smart one. Hassan couldn’t read a first-grade textbook but he’d read me plenty.”
Sometimes school education isn’t the most important thing. It teaches you about the ways of the world, but it doesn’t always teach you how to react to the world. Hassan had no education, and yet his skills with people were much stronger than Amir’s. It is more important to be able to aid someone in their life problems than with their math problems. No matter how good a person might feel when they ace a test, it is not comparable to how happy they could feel by making a connection with another person. Human connection is the most important thing. Education certainly aids us in our connections, providing people with an opportunity to meet others and giving them the knowledge to make it through life comfortably. But it is certainly not everything.
