Knowledge

Knowledge

Through the wisdom of not only mine but also others, I have gained an acute amount of knowledge over my life. Yet this knowledge isn't enough at times. Constantly, I feel a sense of gluttony in the pit of my belly, not for any material gain but instead of the vast knowledge of the cosmos. I stare up at the night sky and theoretically know how certain parts of it work, yet there is so much for me to learn, so much that I wish to learn. The same goes for the vastness of the deep blue sea. Oh, how the wonders of the sea pass over my head, yet as I watch the harsh waves crash against innocent boats, I wish to learn more. No, I wish to learn it all. I wish to learn everything around me and have an acute knowledge of it all. I don't want that vast cosmos to be so vast anymore, but instead, a cosmos that I can grip with my two rough hands and absorb with my essence.

Knowledge has been the key that humanity has held in their hands since the beginning of their existence. With the knowledge we gained every step of the way, we were able to advance one step further into the future. So what if, for a second, one man held all of the knowledge in his hands? What if I was able to grasp it all and absorb it all into my soul and become one with the ambient knowledge around me? Well, I have already done that. I possess all of the knowledge, yet it is just locked away in the collective knowledge of all of humanity. I am a part of the knowledge, and so are you. We are all a part of the knowledge, and with every action we take, we are slowly advancing that vast source of knowledge. Our collective knowledge will bring humanity to the greatest of heights, yet it will also be our downfall.

Humans are odd creatures, and even though we possess so much knowledge, we still participate in petty squabbles that are slowly becoming more and more serious. Even though we know not to hurt each other, it's like we're yearning for the blood of our fellow man. Peace is something humanity could never strive for as we are greedy creatures, yet I don't claim myself not to be greedy as well. Though I don't crave the blood of man, I crave knowledge. Without my knowledge, I would be an even emptier man. No, without my knowledge, I would be a wild beast scouring for anything that would stimulate my mind.

As I write, I can feel my soul slowly but surely connecting to this page. I can feel this vast knowledge that I so yearn to touch coming into my grasp as I access records of the past through other authors. I have found my passion, I have found my knowledge, I have found what I yearn for. My purpose is to pass my knowledge, sorrows, thoughts, and philosophy off onto you so that way you may grasp it and make it your own. My goal is to become a part of the vast knowledge and make my contribution to it. I will not be forgotten in history I will be celebrated in history. Be it my arrogance or be it my confidence, I know that I am grasping onto something vast, and slowly, that ember is dragging across my soul and lighting it aflame. I have grasped that ember, and now I shall set flame to all that I see. All is to my will, and yet I am to the will of others. I am made to shape others while also made to have others shape me. Every opinion of my own shall be yours, and all of yours shall be mine because, overall, I am not touching madness but, instead, a greater purpose that none but myself can understand. These may be short, but each word will pack a punch, and each will light a new ember. These sentences will hold so much creativity and so much of my knowledge that I will pass on multiple embers to my readers.
