Knowledge is Progress, W.A. 2

"New knowledge is the most valuable commodity on Earth. The more truth we have to work with, the richer we become." A simple piece of wisdom left behind by the amazingly psychotic author, Kurt Vonnegut. The knowledge of our past as well as the knowledge of how our world works makes us.... all of humanity understand our purpose and our ultimate desiny in this massive universe we live in. The more knowledge we gain, the richer we become in this ultimate goal of understanding. This knowledge is progress, it's what gave man fire, tools, weapons, vehicles, communications, services and brought us to the moon. The more we understand the follow we will strive, out into space, faster than light travel, holograms, incredible feats that we have yet to wrap our mind around. But, this concept of knowledge is wealth can also be brought down from such an epic scale to our daily lives. If a person loves another person, and they find out that that love is shared it brings a joy that is greater than any other a person has known, and this feeling is wealth, TRUE wealth is not defined as money or as material goods, it is a greater happiness in a person that comes from the simple joy of just living our lives. Whether that great feeling spawns from great friends, love or comfort in one's life it doesn't matter, but the knowledge that one is secure in this world is the best feeling one can experience.
