For too long I have known the expression
'Those who can do, those who can't teach',
and disliked what goes unsaid in the phrase.
Disliked how by saying nothing it defines 'doing'
as doing for others, as if a person can't enjoy
contentment through self improvement in its own right.
It is that strict and unspoken division that has us
pleasing others poorly and displeasing ourselves
until we make ourselves ill, all as if mis-education
were the perpetual aim of every social system.
