Knowledge Is Power

You've probably heard the saying, "knowledge is power". Well, that took on an entirely different meaning when I saw this:

And that freaked me out for a little bit. Also, anyone who's read (or seen) Divergent knows that knowledge isn't always a good thing. And again, that makes me worry. Is knowledge simply finding out the best way to exploit your enemies and manipulate people? After all, I do consider myself something of an intellectual. Should I stop learning because it can lead to bad things?

Fortunately, Loki isn't the only person who has something to say about this.

That's right, the Doctor likes learning, too. And unlike some people, he uses his extensive knowledge to save people. So maybe knowledge isn't so bad after all.

But then why is there such a difference? Shouldn't people all use knowledge for good?

They should, but they don't. This is because not everybody is perfect. We all mess up sometimes. And some people decide to use good things (like knowledge) for evil purposes (like taking over the world). But not everybody. Knowledge is power, and it should be used to help others and make the world a better place.

Knowledge is power. Use it wisely.
