If other people are ignorant of your knowledge

..you have the power.

(ig⋅no⋅rant - adj: lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned: an ignorant man.)
(knowl⋅edge - noun: acquaintance with facts, truths, or principles; general erudition: knowledge of many things)

ignorance is bliss? knowledge is power? knowledge is power.

people say what you don't know won't hurt you. that's why new born babies are considered the purest because they don't know whats good/evil or right/wrong. they just cry, poop and laugh. that's all they do but when you become mature and all grown up you realize whats wrong from right. vice versa. right? you become aware of crime, violence, love, family, etc. and some of them, if not all, sucks. maybe you can force yourself to block all those negative aspects but in your mind it's still in there even if its only a small portion. what can you do? idunno.. fix it? thats why the Nobel (Peace) Prize is given out. lol jk. what if people like Martin Luther King or Ghandi wasn't alive? would we still have a hardcore segregated community among races or gender? maybe. maybe not but thankfully, their knowledge made change to the world. but you say..

what about cancer? would you like to live knowing you have cancer or not knowing?
meh.. it goes both ways I guess. living life with cancer must suck, knowing that you're going to die. so being ignorant about it is good so you can just live life regularly and not worry. but if you don't choose to be in denial then with your knowledge, maybe you can find the cure for cancer and not worry that you're going to die.. from cancer. I don't know, it's debatable?

but when people say "which one's better, ignorance is bliss or knowledge is power", I see it as "which one is better, ignore or conquer". I'd like to conquer. (:

I'll edit/write more later. I want to go to RiteAid to get some drinks.
