BLOG #7



In my opinion, I agree that knowledge should make us happier because having knowledge is one of the successes in life. Humans in this day and age having knowledge can advance in life and be someone of Importance in society, thus becoming a role model. Being a role model can make someone happy because you are making an impact on the life of someone. Not having knowledge can make us very miserable, stress out and not happy.

 Knowledge is a tool that can change and control the world. In the movie The Matrix we see Neo was offered two pills, Red for Knowledge of the future and Blue for not knowing the future. Neo accepted the red bill because he wanted to discovered his future and make an impact in the Matrix. I see President of the USA as a man of intelligence and with the office he holds he is making an impact and servicing the people of the USA.

On the other hand we see some people with no knowledge, they are very ignorant, stupid and most unhappy people.  They hinder themselves from achieving the benefits that knowledge brings. In the article “The Allegory Cave” depicts people in a cave they cannot see beyond, and are not motivated to move from where they are. They are lazy, and afraid to make a change. They don’t have the wisdom to get up and come out of the cave. They are prisoners, and comfortable in the state that they are in.

In conclusion, I think that people should make the effort to get knowledge. This involved in change in our mind set, our position how and how we view life. With this in mind we can experience true happiness knowing that we have put in the time to gain knowledge, not only for ourselves but also for someone that we may be able to help along the way.
