- Some people say that knowledge makes them happier, but others say that it doesn't. I think it all depends on who you are, and what you expect things in your life. For me, knowing something that I have not known is the most pleasure and happiness for me. In my country, South Korea, there is a word that it is not valuable hanging pearl necklace in pig's neck and knowing knowledge is the power. It means, having a knowledge is privilege for human beings not for animals. Thus, I would like to say knowledge makes us happier because we can have a convenient life, we will not be deceived by people or situation.
More knowledge makes our lives more convenient. To illustrate, A long time ago, when weather forecast had not been developed yet, people couldn't predict weather so that many people had been victims by storming, hurricane. However, since human beings have studied the weather in which we used to believe that bad weather was happened by God's fury, we have been able to predict the weather. Thus, we can be able to prevent our disaster or we can select the good weather to sailing boat, going picnic or having events outside. By the reason, I think knowing knowledge is the most bliss for our lives so we are happier to find out what we have not know. Without digging knowledge, there is no such developing or progressing entire of our lives. I know there is always a pain to learn and need to put effort. However, once you get the knowledge, you will have feather to do next. It would be convenient for our lives. Look at the result from new technology which have been developed from past, we can get news from the opposite side of the earth by Internet, and we can see my mother's face, who is not be able to come to the united state, as using Skype. What a laze person do not want to know anything? Are chicken to know new world? If you close your eyes with your both hands, there would not be the sun in the world? As Morpheus and Socrates say that knowing and recognizing is not that simple process, it may accompany painful experiences and feelings. However, when we get over the pains, we become smart to use the knowledge and we will have easy lives. What is more! having knowledge doesn't make your feeling miserable, but it will help you to avoid disadvantage. For instance, what is going on in the diamond industry? Diamond companies started diamonds' price down dramatically since they had economic crisis in 2008 and diamond labs compromised with them upgrading diamonds. Buying jewelry is usually the last thing for a living when people have financial problems. Thus, diamonds owners have to find out the solution in order to survive in the crisis so almost 90 percent of diamond companies excepting famous branded companies such as Tiffany, De beers, have sold diamond cheap prices. However, it is not really cheaper price because there was a trick that the diamond companies make diamond quality up grade. Actually, customers buy low quality diamonds with high price. Sadly, No one knows that if people do not have knowledge about diamond. Most jewelry stores have diamonds which certified by diamond lab. When diamonds have certifications, no one can not against the sellers with the diamonds' qualities because it already was proved by labs. If you know about diamonds which is knowledge, you can be able to avoid bad quality diamonds and you will not be the victim of deceiving from ignorance. Another example," the necklace" by guy de Maupassant, Losiel who wants to go high class party, but she does not have any jewel to wear. She borrows diamond necklace from her friend to go to the party. Unfortunately, she lose it and she buys the same necklace with debt so she spends her whole life in order to pay back the bank. After a long, when she visits her fried who lent her the necklace, she found out that the diamond was fake. How terrible story is! Knowing the truth changes one's life and having knowledge releases suffer from ignorance. Do you want Losiel to live her life without knowing the truth until she dies? and suffering forever? As Socrates said, she might be painful when she found that truth, but I guarantee that the pain is a few second, but her happiness was more than triple after finding the truth.
