But if I'm useless only because I haven't been properly educated, is that my fault?

About This Quote

The idea that there is someone at fault for the fact that they haven't been properly educated is like saying, "You can't blame your Mother for giving birth to you." No one can force a child to have a father or a mother. You don't have to have a father to have a life.
