Does knowledge make things more beautiful?
First off, let me define knowledge. Knowledge is the knowing of facts, or statements of truth, where as wisdom is things such as wise statements about how to live one's life etc.
Okay, does knowledge make things more beautiful? Does looking at a forest, and knowing it is a bunch of atoms, which for compounds, which react, and allow life to exist. Knowing that forest is made up of soil, with microscopic organisms in it. That the leaves on the ground will decompose and becomes nutrients for more things to grow. That those trees are sucking water up from the ground, and it is leaving them into the air, and it returns again as rain. or is just looking at the forest for the beauty one can see in it just by looking. The colors, the sounds, the life scattering about, but not neccessarily understanding all the parts of the forest. The same for the stars. Just looking at them in wonder or amazement? Or understanding what is going on in the starts to create them, the ball offire they are, and how incredibly far away they are. So, does knowledge make things more beautiful, or is it not necessary to make things more beautiful?

I don't get it though. When I look around, it seems like I'm already there, and there is nothing left to do. "You think you're so clever and classless and free, but you're still ****ing peasants as far as I can see." I wish I could take just one hour of what I experience out in nature, wrap it in a box, put a bow on it, and start handing out to people Nature has its own religion; gospel from the land I know I was born and I know that I'll die; The in between is mine."
