Who am I? You sure you want to know?

*This is not an emo post...dun everytime I post say I emoing...*

In life, there are always so many things happening around us.
It is really up to us to filter out what we think are more important and process them to form deductions.
That's the basis of experience and living life, is it not?

The Chains of Inner Darkness

Yet, there are so many things that we should not know, things we were never meant to filter out and understand.
Ignorance is the human souls self-protecting mechanism, from the unknown and possibly harmful.
Some things are best left ambiguous, happy and cheery on its own, rather than poking so deep into it and opening the Pandora's box.
I suppose I only have myself to blame, for breaking a window from this firewall out of sheer imprudence...

DeviantARTist: I like the idea that an apple represents knowledge.
All of us know knowledge is power and someone who is very powerful is likely to become corrupt.
The main idea is the corruption of knowledge.

There are some things which I pretend not to see, pretend not to hear and pretend not to know.
This is more than just plainly telling people I don't know things that I do, that would be outright lying.
It involves the intricate mechanisms of crafting language, actions and impressionistic ideas.
Kinda like Inception, just less science fiction, more real world and tangible.
Such is not to deny the burden of knowledge, for it has been acquired and can never be lifted.
It is what I deem as the best way to protect what I hold dear and myself.

Against the Darkness

Knowledge is powerful, spare me from reinstating.
As such, one has to be ever so careful when giving this kind of power to others.
This includes people with malicious intent,
who would use that kind of power against you and destroy you from the inside.
On the other hand, this also includes people whom you care for,
whom you truly want to protect from dangers that kind of power would entail.
Lastly, there is the ever present need to protect yourself,
for fear of being burnt by the wildfire that so often entails even the most minute oversight.

The kelpie is a malicious creature that preys on the innocent and trusting.
On touching a kelpie, disguised as a horse with a mane of reeds,
you are bound to it and dragged underwater to drown.
But what if death was not so bad?
Maybe the kelpie regrets, maybe the girl forgives.

Relationships, even the of the strongest caliber, can get strained and shaken in just a few acts of indiscretion.
Such is the danger of knowledge without restraint.
Every syllable counts, every word matters and every emoticon, as impromptu as they may seem to be, weighs a thousand tons.
At least, that is what I have gathered from my knowledge and experience in text conversations.
I can talk to total strangers and make them open up to me in one conversation,
or conversely hate me for life in a few sentences, tried and tested. Can you?
That's the power of knowledge and its transference to another.
Yet, so many people around us are leaking such information to everyone else.
Good or bad? That's not up for me to comment.
