Knowledge comes with sorrow, not the grief that makes you weep all through the night and wet your pillow, but the pain in discerning the truth. The more you learn, is the more you know and the more sorrowful you become, you might end up seeing the vanity of that which you've cherished the most. We might be more at peace when there's little that we know, no one haunts you, no thoughts distress you, you only see the bright color that has been painted before you. However, these changes when you explore to gain knowledge, you become bitter of the skeletons you've discovered in the cupboard, and the world turns against you.
I have heard of prominent men whom career was brought down as they began to seek for answers over certain matters that were ambiguous to them, others quit their position because the truth was to heavy for them to bear, and those who couldn't leave remained in regret. What we see may not be all that there is, what we have been told might not be the truth, and what we've been made to believe might just be a deception from some factions, but it only brings you misery as you learn of it.
Imagine the pain of a graduate who had to manage to sponsor himself through school realizing at last that education doesn't guarantee his success contrary to the picture that was painted to him before he took on the chance to go through school. Imagine a man who had worked as a slave his entire life to realize his father sold him out, reckon a child after becoming successful realizing that people he speculated to be his biological parents aren't truly his but was adducted or the awareness that your father who you cherished never loved you. The more you know a certain thing is the more sorrowful you become.
The people who live an unsophisticated lifestyle with no newspaper to read daily are likely to live free of tension and worries. Each day people are troubled by information and secrets that keep unveiling. The number one factor that had led to a high rate of blood pressure and it underlined death is targeted to the news that we hear or the knowledge of a thing that was learned. No wonder, certain news is hidden from people to avoid the result that makes comes from learning about it.
Wisdom is good, to seek knowledge is a beautiful thing, but also be prepared to handle a certain truth. The wisest man that ever liveth said, "The more I know, the more sorrowful I became".
