    Asian, middle eastern, latin, black, white, we all dance together in peace

    Friggin Crap, I'm a little concerned, at this point in my life, i dont know what may happen, i could turn the corner and be involved in a bank robbery, or something really scary migh happen, Blah im gunna die dude!!

    That puts it all into perspective for me, its scary sometimes what the knowledge doees.... Where i'll end up, i just got no clue...

    knowledge isnt neccessarily knowing all the facts either, knowledge is experiential.

    Knowledge is the power to want to understand and the courage to understand.

    knowledge is nothing. it is words and facts and theories. understanding is the assimilation of knowledge. overstanding is the fortitude to use such knowledge.

    and experience brings forth wisdom.

    sitareric, have you read "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" by Dave Eggers? It's really funny/tragic (which is often the same thing). Definitely worth checking out.

    How do you define knowledge Illmaeo ? i define knowledge as curosity and understanding the world as you see it, not as otheres tell you to.

    Would robbing a bank be of any useful knowledge to you? As long as you do it right and don't actually harm anybody while doing so.

    And ignorance is generally the inability to admit one's knowledge.

    I already gave you my definition of knowledge.

    "knowledge is nothing. it is words and facts and theories."

    I don't see any corelation between curiosity and knowledge unless it is curiosity that makes you want to gain some knowledge.

    understanding the world as you see it? what does that have to do with knowledge? I'm not picking on you, loveandclouds, I just don't get your logic.
