Knowledge Is Bad

[B-boy Juni]

Sometimes I wish I could just go back to the memories of fun I used to have and take back the things I have seen and read but sadly I cannot. Close friends I used to have died and I know longer have contact with some friends I used to know so well and talk with.The times I used to have are gone and nothing is the same anymore. :sad:

There were times where I would go out on Halloween with some friends and throw suckers at passing cars and not care about life or what happen nexts and would go out to to the big Ethiopian weddings/parties with the rest of the Ethiopian community those were so damn fun.:wicked: Man me and the other kids there got into so much trouble. I live in both a good and terrible time I learn good things and bad my curiousity is one of the things I regret. The world was a better place a couple years back.

wow woah wee GuiSe Life ReVeLAtion!!!!
evrerybody cry...now!

[brokenvoice]

Haha your friend died!

[Dave]

Your title holds very little relevance. I fully disagree with the idea that Knowledge is Bad.

I read recently sesshoumaru saying that knowledge is a curse, but I really disagree. Without knowledge, we have nothing.

[Wasted_Savior]

Ahh nostalgia, im with you, i miss the old days

[Papa Lazarou]

I think in a sense knowledge can only be good (assuming it's true). Leaving out psychological oddities, having a fuller knowledge just lets you make good decisions. It's a different story with the psychological oddities left in but not completely different - you just need to know what you can and can't act on and only deal with what you can affect. I'm over simplifying things a bit but that's the gist in my view.

[Dave]

Knowledge is power. The only bad thing which can come from knowledge is knowing certain things. So there are somethings which, once you know, can cause more harm than good. But overall knowledge is extremely important.

[Sam H]

Knowledge is not bad. It's the person that uses it.

[kamikaze!]

could you reveal the meaning of this thread please?
Or is it just a random emo shit?

[Anima]

B-Boy Juni plus comme B-boy emo fag..Only joking :p

Edit: your very manly (y)

[Gorka]

Eat some steriods and you'll get all childish again!

[[RozoN]]

Can you explain me what your friends death and you falling back to childhood again has to do with tricking

[Skilzat85X]

Can someone explain to me why the majority of TT members are such idiots.

[B-boy Juni]

Good point Skilzat;but no this not in the slightest is a emo thread I am going through a tough decision process now of whether I should do what I'm forced to do by my parents schoolwork being a succesful person with alot of money or what makes me happy tricking up until recently I was quite ignorant to what kinds of burdens people carry such as my parents. A couple years back I thought I was a tough ass and had no weakness and tried to be perfect at everything I did but I was wrong I know now everybody has a weakness, which brings to mind the topic of this thread which I have already expressed once.

To me memories are a valuable thing more so than almost anything so the things I'm going through right now bring back memories of a better time where I didn't have to make such decisions and could go out and not care about what happens next. Like when my friend's birthday used to come around we used to invite everbody we knew and just have fun and chill at his house. Then in the night we would go out and all of us would split into teams of like 12 and spread out in this big ass yard he and his neighbor had and the other team would go out into the neighbor's yard and then everyone would take all the plastic swords or weapons they had and we would try and assault each other and get the person out and this was in pitch black so know one could even see each other which made it more fun.

[Dingo]

You don't have to live to work, rather you work to live. Have a job, do what makes you happy. It takes a great skill and luck to be able to balance work and fun. Just work be succesful, but at the same time, have fun and do things that will be memorable, things that you could look back and say "good times..." I think memories are really one of the best blessings one could have.

I was resisting the thought of posting this because of some of the assholes on here but oh well Dingo you are now a respected friend of mine on the forums now

Thank you! You too. A lot of people face the same thing you do, so don't feel as if you are alone in this. Eventually we all will feel like that at some moment.

[shengoikee]

so you're feeling nostalgic

this doesn't really relate to tricks does it?

[Ryu Sujin]

Can someone explain to me why the majority of TT members are such idiots.

Because the majority of people are idiots. TT just happens to house a bunch of acrobatic ones.

[B-boy Juni]

Well this is the wrong forum but you really wouldn't care if it was a much more known tricker on here now would you, this not sarcastic but just proving a point

[Sam H]

The average life your parents want you to have is about staying under the limits.
Tricking is about breaking limits. Discovery.

You can take the safe route and live like everybody else.
Or you can take your own route and experience something the average person can't even begin to comprehend.

[Skilzat85X]

Somebody make it stop.

[Sam H]

You can close it. :good:

Knowledge is alot of things...but understand that with knowledge comes responsibility. The moment you know about something, you can't "un-know" [as in, to completely forget without any trace of recollection].

:: A Fictional Circumstance ::

If you had a little brother, and your parents told you that he is too young to take care of himself. As soon as you recognize that he is too young to take care of himself, you become his keeper [responsible for everthing that he does and doesn't do].

It doesn't matter whether you think it's fair, it doesn't matter whether that you had something else that you wanted to do; overseeing him has priority over your own wants and needs. If you "default" upon that responsibility, you do so knowing the ramifications [that he cannot take care of himself]. Due to this, you pay for everything he does...

But if you didn't know...

You cannot be held accountable.

That is why everyone tries to tell you the rules to everything in life, it's a method of establishing authority [it's damn hard to challenege those who make all the rules], therefore you must succumb to their manner of enforcement [cause they're gonna police the rules].

This is what I mean by, "knowledge is a curse". It turns privileges [a special immunitive right, freedom, liberty, etc.] into responsibilities [something for which one is responsible for, duty, burden, obligation, etc.].

And now that you know that...

You gotta be careful what you tell people...cause you'll fucking curse them :ogre: Do not infer upon someone a responsibility that you know they're not going to be able to handle. If you have a secret, and it involves someone of the "3rd person", YOU KEEP THAT SHIT TO YOURSELF!!!

[Grenkutzu]

There are some people out there that are much more "aware" than others if I had to describe it. Just when somebody else is able to see past the tons of bullshit and stupidity of what society is today. These people have to find an outlet for themselves, something that has to be a skill to increase, to give them a purpose to be alive, and a reason to live. It's almost always going to be something physical, and their going to put everything they have into it, because it's the only thing that feels real and free to them. Despite this, they usually suffer from feelings of failure and heavy depression, mainly because they see how bad the world is today. Knowledge isn't something that a heavily emotional person, or a complete jackass should ever have, it only leads to them making their own views on shit that isn't real, and being too weak would mean they would have a mental breakdown. Still, I think it's a hell of a lot better to see shit for how it is, then rather be one of the masses.

Dude, you're only 13. Stop being so mature.

But seriously, you just fucked other kids your age in the ass with those two comments alone.

[Dave]

In reply to Sesshoumaru


I think I can understand what you are saying, in some situations knowledge can be a bad thing. I also thought of this, but just because there are certain circumstances where knowledge can be a bad thing, does not mean that knowledge is a curse [always].

I think that saying knowledge is a curse puts across a bad message that all knowledge is a curse and we should not worry about learning, unless you clarify further, which you did in that post, so thanks.

[Asura]

Make sure to use this as a learning lesson...what's here today isn't gauranteed to be there tommorrow. Spend time with the people that care about you [even if you don't care for them too much], cause when they're gone...they're gone.

It's not how they died that's important, or the fact that they died at all [cause we're all gonna die]...it's just sad that they died when they did [early]. I just hope you really appreciate the memories you have with them, and use this as reminder to spend time with those that care about you...cause you'll be dead soon enough, and they will grieve over you.

Are you real?

[B-boy Juni]

Sessh hit that point exactly that was exactly what I'm thinking now

nicely put :good:

It would be interesting to see how many character traits the people here have in common. Probably a lot.

[Dingo]

But seriously, you just fucked other kids your age in the ass with those two comments alone.

Nicely put:good:
The only thing I have done is be a bit more aware of my surroundings, and developed a tad faster than kids my age. Then again, your comment actually makes me proud to have accomplished that:smile: Even though I mature, that doesn't mean I not immature. I have two sides to me. Thank god, you see only one now.
