Is Knowledge your friend or your enemy?

Question

Your mother, father, brother or sister has died! What is it that makes you so sad?
The memory or them!

Why are you not happy? :¬)

Answer 1

Knowledge in most cases is power as they say, but grief is a different matter completely.

Answer 2

Knowledge is acquired, and it is not an essential human quality or ability. When for example we are together so close to the ones we love and care, we seldom think about each other intensely. We look at things of common interest instead. The need for knowledge about each other here is replaced by the reality that knowledge could have been a shadow of. I am not happy due to my dissatisfaction. I search for perfection.

In simple and precise terms, knowledge is an organisation of thoughts about certain objects of inquiry. It is neither moral, nor it is immoral in nature - knowledge is an amoral entity. Knowledge can be good for some under certain situation, but it can also be harmful.

All thoughts of happiness and sorrow result from sense of displacement or detachment. The things that are in our sight but not in our grasp make us think most. We long to know what could be on the other side of the hill. The reach of our mind is always farther than its grasp. All thoughts regarding relations and happiness are thoughts of longing and yearning for each other. In fact all thoughts are thoughts of yearning for something or the other.

Sadness is felt when we part with people we love and happiness when we find them again. All the knowledge of people and of things therefore is subjective to our viewpoint. We know things when we observe the things and events of the world objectively for our own good When we befriend people we know that they are friend. Then not only we have knowledge of certainty about them but also knowledge of hopes, good expectations and happy speculations. We know they will be good and we will be fine. This where knowledge is our friend as we make it so.

Answer 3

We know that something is missing from the balance which made our lives bearable and unbearable. knowledge that the presence of that which once was in sight just as I am, must now be transformed to memories in the realities of this effect, grief comes and also joy, to begin thoughts anew without the moment present always to share or not with those known. much like a child again I stand , but with memories of the outstretched hand, still I must stand now it seems, alone and yet near as not before, is this where I meant to be in the end we overlap into " friend".A.M.H.

Answer 4

ENEMY ENEMY ENEMY! Ignorance is bliss, didnt you know?

I don't know about what oyu said though, it is your humanity that makes u experience sadness.
But whats the point of existing wihtout knowledge? You wouldnt experience anything at all, even happiness. YOu wouldnt necisarily be happy if you didnt know that your family was important to you, you just wouldnt care- is that really better?

Answer 5

Knowledge is a friend and a foe like a double edged knife. Used properly it will enhance value of wisdom. But knowledge is not wisdom. Knowledge also limits your progress by comparison. The acquired knowledge always miss the beauty of present by comparing the past.

Answer 6

1. Facts are better than living a false existence of mental oblivion.

2. Live is like that. Good and heart-wrenching things happen and you just have to deal with them as an adult.

3. As adults, we have to cope with disappointment. Life is not perfect. But I guarantee you, time does make the mind grow foggier.

4. A wise Scorpio waitress, in my very younger years, gave me some very good advice, that I have found to be true. I had just lost a love and was grieving. She told me that there is a replacement for everything in life. When one person, or thing, leaves, it makes way for something good to enter. Because of her, she gave me added coping skills for facing loss.

5. So, to answer you, I am happy. What's not to be happy for? What else could go right? To play a good game of life, you must realize that nothing, no one, is forever — that includes you. Enjoy yourself and keep your life open to the good things the universe has to offer.

Good Luck and Warm Wishes.

Answer 7

Knowledge will be a thing to be. That is you will only know that you are intelligent for some thing to be your enemy to have knowledge of what everything means.

Answer 8

knowledge is mans friend. Knowledge protects us from danger. Knowledge tells us to respect/ share/ love all. Knowledge also tells us who are our friends, who are our enemies, Knowledge tells us where we can find food for survival, without knowledge we cannot survive.

God has given us free will to choose our own path. Either we can obey whatever has been taught to us or we can choose to remain selfish. Our friends, parents will die one day (true) and we will also die. Do not cry for those who leave us .. thank God that they gave us something that will not die ( VALUES)

Knowledge tells we should live with less desires, love all, be kind, donate, be honest. Its difficult but remember ......... you reap what you sow !!

Answer 9

the fact u r not going to see them any more, and things u could have said and didn't. Idon't see the connection with knowledge but there is a saying "A little knowledge goes a long way".

Answer 10

It is not the memory of them that makes you sad for in time the memory of your family makes you happy. What makes you sad is the thought of the future without them. The pain of them dying and leaving you makes you sad.

Why are you not happy?

Answer 11

Knowledge is the enemy of the church. Just as Copernicus,Galileo, Darwin or William Tyndale
