WHAT IS NEW What’s new? Nothing.! Only the discovery Of that which you didn’t know; Cycles change the Re-entering sprits with strong wills, Willing, to Be less strong-willed. And become more informed Lack of knowledge “coulda killed you” Half-truths causes tragedies That which was behind you, Is now in front of you Has hemmed you up at the exit Didn’t bother to ask the Passcode to the escape door That which you didn’t know. Has killed you with a smile. Is it good to know just a little? And stay powerless over the outcome? Or will the truth really set you free? Copyright © Vicki Acquah |

So true M.L. Kiser;There will always be something "new to you". But is it necessary to know everything? Are we even willing to change direction and lean new information?Have you ever read the Oahspe?

"Is it good to know just a little? And stay powerless over the outcome?" A very good question. I've been told that it is. However, I have an unending thirst for knowledge; am told that I, "read too much", as well. Food for thought though.
