Knowledge is Power or Ignorance is Bliss

[RobArb]

unless that power is used as wisdom:thumbup:

Be careful of what you want to know because once you learn it you can never forget especially if its something you wish you never knew.

who cares

 

 

 

 

 

 

everyone knows that the pen is mightier than the saw.

[Matthew Arnold]

We go on tree surveying refresher courses every 6 month to keep our brains fresh with knowledge. It helps us greatly as it keeps us upto date with rules n regs.

[Mesterh]

I would say both.

 

Although power corrupts and ignorance is not an excuse.

 

 

 

I prefer the ignorance side though. The less you know the simpler life can be.

[RobArb]

knowledge is the key to enlightment, "the unexamined life isn't worth living" i think was said by some greek philosopher, the trouble is all people aren't built to receive knowledge

 

but on the other hand some buddhist said ignorance of the true nature of reality is all that seperates one resting in suffering from enlightenment

 

i think with knowledge, compassion is needed otherwise the power that comes from it corrupts.

I general, in the arb industry as a whole or even indeed in life, is the saying knowledge is power more prevalent, or should it be a case of ignorance is bliss?

 

Is a case of knowing too much a bad thing or should we all try to learn and understand more?

 

Ii know its not as simple as to choose between the two but if it where me i'd go for knowledge over ignorance!

 

With 'knowledge' one can choose to be ignorant, without it tho.....???

 

Cheers..
