On Knowledge

Knowledge is power.

Ignorance is bliss.

So the question I pose to you is whether you would like to be powerful or blissful?

If your family and friends don't really love you, would you want to know? I wouldn't. But I would also rather know for sure what the true feelings of my latest lover are, and the same with acquaintances. I think, though, that I have grown to depend on certain relationships. They have become to fundamental to my life. People say that we shouldn't take anything for granted, human or material. But the fact is, we do. Humans need those rocks in their foundation on which to build a house. Do the owners of the house ever think about the foundation of it? No, of course not. They don't spend hundreds of dollars on it, rather, on interior decorating. Homeowners only pause to remember the foundation of their house if there is something wrong with it.

I also believe that the smart people are the ones who should be ruling the world. I'm not entirely sure that they are, but I do believe that they should. Or, even, they could be. For every pretty face there needs to be a smart person behind the scenes working as puppet master. The most ideal combination would be a great mind and a pretty face.

Great minds think alike.

If great minds think alike, then how come it has been the innovators, the ones who think differently that bear the label of genius? Maybe it's because those who supposedly think differently all think differently in the same way. They are all different from mainstream society.

First Entry

Welcome to the other side of sanity. I hope your stay has a lasting impact.

I intend for this to be my personal journal.

I'm sure the rest shall be self explanitory.

I'll elaborate later.
