Going back as far as I can remember as a child in an Indian area, I had no sense of knowing about the other people around me except that we were all somehow equal. There was only one class. Nobody was interested in getting on top of anybody else.
You could see it in our games. Nobody organized them. There weren't any competitive sports. But we took part in lots of activities and we were organized, not in the sense that there were wars of finding out who had won and who had lost. We played balls like everyone else, but no one kept scores. Even if we did formally take part in the games we played, no one was a winner though someone may have won. It was only at that moment. If you beat someone by pulling a bow (弓) and arrow (箭) and shooting the arrow further, it didn't mean you were better in any way. It just meant that at that particular time the arrow went further; maybe it was just the way you let the bow go. These kinds of things are very important to me and that is why I am talking about them.
One of the very important things was the relationship we had with our families. We didn't always live at home. We lived wherever we happened to be at that particular time when it got dark. If you were two or three miles away from home, then that was where you slept.
According to the writer, in India ______.
Knowledge can be gotten from many sources. These include books, teachers and practical experience, and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gain from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no chance to experience in daily life. We Can study all the places in the world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading about them in books. We can also develop our analytical (分析的) skills and learn how to view and explain the world around us in different ways. In addition, we can learn from the past by reading books. In this way, we won't repeat the mistakes of others and can build on their achievements.
Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge. It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true, whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best way to learn. Besides, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to act. Innovations(革新) do not come about through reading but through experimentation. Finally, one can use the skills and wisdom gained through the study of books to practical experience, making a meaningful experience more meaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge remains theoretical (理论上的) and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that gained from books.
