It Is NOT ... A Bottomless Pit

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Some people believe

"The more you know,

the smarter you are"

and regard knowledge

as a bottomless pit

 

ALSO

these people

 regard their nose

as always sniffing:

insisting on knowing

details of every news story

beyond what is reported

 

However,

this endless acquisition

DOES NOT

make one smarter:

 

All it does is create

a data dump in your brain

 

Knowledge is not 

just the acquisition

of information

 

TRUE KNOWLEDGE

mandates the discrimination

between 

what is necessary to know

and what is 

superfluous jabberwocky

 

TRUE KNOWLEDGE

requires the wisdom

to know the difference

 

Otherwise,

the gargantuan acquisition

morphs a person into

a yawn-inducing

almanac
