What is knowledge?


Worthier than emerals and gold is knowledge.

You may ask, "do I only obtain this in college?"

You may, although is a long and treacherous process

that later becomes known as  wisdom .

It is through this , that you establish individualism.

You see, knowledge is power. 

A powerful tool, a powerful weapon, a powerful defense. 

Desire to obtain this for you will go far and

you will understand and see things that to many may seem bizzare. 

Knowlege is freedom.

Freedom to express your opinions with confidence

and present your doubters with evidence.  

So when you're old and wealthy in wisdom

don't forget to remind the young people to acknowlege 

that worthier than emeralds and gold is knowlege .
