Knowledge and Wisdom #2

I think that knowledge is what is learned and what is experienced. Some say that with knowledge comes power and that with power comes responsibility. This is true and not true. The reason it’s true is because when you know something you can use it to your advantage. That’s the power part and this is the anti of it. If you know something and someone else knows it also then neither of you has more potential or power. The thing that is different between you and others that don’t know the same thing is that you have more power over them because you know something they don’t.

What usually defines who has more power is wisdom. People get wisdom through experience. Those who are powerful but not wise are usually tyrants while those who are either very wise or both wise and powerful are the great people of the world.
The difference is what you do with the knowledge that defines wisdom.

Civilization
Civilization is hideously fragile. In other words there are many things that can disrupt or change civilization. Everybody has their own faults that make them less than and equal to everybody else, and everybody has strengths that make them better than and equal to everybody else. In other words everybody is equal because their strengths equal out their Weaknesses.

Civilization is everything that a human can do that an animal can’t do, communicate, hate, and love. Savage is what humans do because of civilization that make them worse than animals, or things that humans do because of civilization that animals can’t or won’t do.

The U.S. isn’t any more savage than it is civil. It’s civil because we try to help each other usually (fellow Americans and people from other nations). Why the U.S. is savage is because we go kill other armies and try to control other countries.

Because we have the potential to be civil or savage it makes us the most dangerous race of animals. This enables us to be either the best race or animals or the worst. Humans either kill because they are greedy, after revenge, or are ordered by another human to.
