The Danger of Knowledge

A lifetime is limited,
     but knowledge is limitless.

To take a limited life and pursue
     limitless knowledge can be 
          hazardous.

To know that it is hazardous and
     still think that knowledge makes 
          makes you smarter is even more
                dangerous.

We should transcend knowledge, rather 
than be burdoned or tied down by it.
Knowledge is used in understanding the
principles of life, but once we understand
we should just follow the natural
transformations and not pursue
superfluous knowledge.
