"Knowledge is a burden if it robs you of innocence
Knowledge is a burden if it makes you feel you are special
Knowledge is a burden if it gives you an idea that you are wise
Knowledge is a burden if it isn't integrated into life
Knowledge is a burden if it doesn't bring you joy
Knowledge is a burden if it doesn't set you free"
