Some say knowledge inspires, others say knowledge motivates, I say knowledge dances.
It dances in front of whoever is on the path to seek it. It dances and it tempts and its ambiguity ignites a curiosity with a flaming light that cannot be extinguished. While one may be following the light, seeking warmth, they often fail to see that they could potentially be burned. The thing about looking for knowledge is no one really knows what they are going to find. I've always wondered about the people who search for knowledge. Sure, there are some who stumble upon greatness, but at what cost? Knowledge consumes the mind, heart, and soul. It is with the burning light of knowledge, that people can cure. Yet that same light knowledge is a fatal instrument of harm. Once knowledge is discovered and ignited, it can spread like a wildfire that no one could ever stop. Sure, knowledge is power. But power is dangerous, especially in the hands of the wrong person.
So while knowledge can create a world light and warmth if it is in the hands of a selfless being... knowledge, in the hands of one with sinister intentions, can disintegrate the world surrounding us into nothing more than ruins and ashes.
