This right here is not important, nor is it the real reason that I'm writing this entry. This is just funny and cute:
There once was a rabbit named Tay, who didn't do anything but play. He went out hopping one day, but he didn't see behind the hay, and with his life the rabbit did pay. See... There's rabbit hunting in May.
(don't hate me... i don't really kill cute little bunnies)
Now for the real reason.
It isn't bad to take pride in what you know. But is it better to take pride in the belief that we do not know anything? With the amount of things that we do not know or understand, we may be better off to simply say "I know nothing," rather than, I know (put something here)." Some of the most intelligent people in the world, who knew more things than a good amount of people ever will were very quick and pleased to admit that they did not know anything.
It's even worse to pretend that we know things. There is very little wrong with not knowing anything. You can see everything in an entirely unique way if you don't know anything. If you know everything, then you had better be able to look at things like you don't. Because if you know everything that there is to be known, and you can't keep from realizing all those things, then I'm not sure how smart a person you would really be. Sure, you would be all-knowing, but would you really be smart? I can see it both ways, and I don't really want to make a decision.
If you can cry at someone's smile... If you don't like that smile, then maybe you should be cried over, as well... I don't mean that to sound violent. It isn't what I had in mind.
