Considering these facts, and first of all if you think of all the people believing in this text as absolute truth, should explain quite a lot.

As a result of my thoughts, I see education as the most important starting point to change something. Education should no longer be regarded as a task of the women, but should be shared by the partners. As long as men kepp out of education, there will be no cange. But there is a lot to do in almost every aspectof live. The sense of live, a very personal problem.
