Knowledge is power?

Some believe that knowledge is power... But is it really?

"the serpent said to the woman 'For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.' When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was ... desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it."

Was just thinking... Perhaps knowledge can be both servant and master. It is your servant when you gain more good knowledge and apply them to help people. Or, it can be your master when your mind gets filled up with sinful things and you are haunted / tempted by the constant memory. In the 2nd case, the extra unnecessary knowledge becomes your shackle, like the strings of the puppet. Satan pulls on it and you are tempted to sin.

Be careful what you expose yourself to. Certain knowledge is bad.

NLYM's focus for 2011 is knowledge/knowing!
Our imperative is just one verse before TG's.
