[Inbō Sake]

Give me your thoughts on everything. A quote. Philosophy. Share your mind. These are some things that have been on my mind lately. I want your opinions. Comments. Ideology.

"Some say knowledge is power, others call it wealth. To me it's just a burden, I don't want to think of anything else; In this situation one can truly agree, man's ignorance is bliss, and this wealth of knowledge is only greed." - Pain

"One of the flaws of mankind is our inability to accept the truth. Such an example would be to know that something bad is happening to us, whether it be financially, health, marital, anything at all. Rather than facing that problem and accepting that it is there, we push it to the back of our minds, and wish it wasn't there. We pretend it doesn't exist until it gets to the point it is forced into our reality. When we finally realize the problem is there, it is too late. This is the truth, and not a single person can deny it." - Pain

"The knowledge of this world is a burden. Why you ask? A lot of people say knowledge is power. Yes, it is good to know things, but when you know everything, when you know the real things that go on in the world every passing day. When you know what really happens to all of these innocent people, your mind fucks with you. Every person you see you imagine it. Every day it torments the mind. When you know something you shouldn't, or would rather not know, it finds ways into your every day life, protrudes your thoughts, pierces your mind in a way you don't enjoy it. Some people may not experience this like others, but it does happen, and it just hasn't happened to you yet. To know all is a curse, to know nothing is bliss. Ignorance is the key to a peaceful ending. The mind is the lock. Knowledge is the pick that breaks the lock, and keeps the key from opening what was once there." - Pain
