Pain is not a bad thing; it is simply something one attempts to avoid.

Education is a process of living.
Education is painful.
Therefore living is pain.

Wherein do you draw the conclusion that education is painful?
I'll grant that pain is educational, but that does not imply the inverse.

I draw the conclusion that education is painful from nowhere because that is not what I conclude.

actually the perfect answer would have gone like this:
"Wherein do you draw the conclusion that education is painful?"
school.
but no, I don't think that education is painful.

Right, right... I assume that from the second post about both fortunes being wrong.
I see where you pick up 'education is a process of living'. Going then to education is painful, therefore living is painful is intended to suggest that, by the rule of the first fortune, living is not automatically a bad thing, but should be something we avoid.
Um-hmm... hold on, let me check my math... carry the one... AHA! Got it. I see what I missed before.
I'm clueless.
Nothing to see here, move along, move along.

Yup, that would've been a wonderfully pithy response. Of course, I would've been forced to argue that school may be painful, but that I've yet to be convinced that schools are nearly as educational as they'd claim themselves to be.
But that's a completely different rant.
