Knowledge Is Power for Steemit :)))

in #knowledge8 years ago

The proverb ' Knowledge is Power ' is as true today as it was in the past. in fact, it is knowledge that distinguishes man from animals.
Man is physical weaker than many animals. He cannot run fast as fast as a panther. He cannot see as far as an eagle can. His sense of smell is weaker than that of a dog. He can not carry as heavy loads as some beasts of burden do. He cannot fight tigers and lions with his bare hands.
Yet he has managed to become the most power full creature on earth. His power comes from knowledge, not from physical strength.
Man has the ability to acquire knowledge , preserve it in books and thus pass it on to the coming generations. This has given him the power the control the forces of nature , and use them for his benefit. It is, however, necessary for man kind to use this knowledge and power wisely. If we use our knowledge wisely, we can create a better and safer world than the world of today.
With the help of knowledge, the man discovered, invented and learned many things. He invented many things to improve transportation like vans, ships, airplanes, train etc.With the help of knowledge man has discovered the secrets of matter. Man turned in to energy and most use full form of energy is atomic energy and electricity.Means of communication, means of transportation and invented of new and best medicines, all these things are due to the knowledge.
Knowledge and power alone cannot bring happiness to mankind. Unfortunately, we have not used our knowledge for the benefit of entire mankind. Those persons and nations who happened to possess knowledge and power in the past used it for creating personal and national empires by conquering more lands and enslaving more people.
Our knowledge has not enabled us to banish war that has plagued man from the very beginning. In reality, we have used the immense knowledge acquired in the past two or three centuries to make war more and more horrible and devastating. The present century that has seen man reaching the moon, and exploring the deep space has also seen two world wars in which millions of people were killed. It has also seen the United State of America dropping the most horrible weapon of war, the atomic bomb, on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. These wars were stated by western nations who pride themselves on bieng the most advance and civilized nations of the world.
