If you watch something from afar you can anly see one side of it.
When you grasp it and hold it in your hand, you can turn it and twist it, mold it to your liking. You can watch it from any angle you want, and you can show any angle you want to others.
This is in my opinion the difference between knowing and knowing.

Perhaps then it is not knowledge that is power, but power that is knowledge. That's a thrilling perspective on truth :) I think I'll adopt it instantly.
Never thought of it that way. Hmm... (I miss you guys and your philosophical debates :( )
"Power is knowledge"... In a way, that could be right. The power to do something is what we call knowledge, even if the "doing" consists only of debating some abstract idea.
Hm, is power possible without knowledge, and knowledge without power? I'm trying to think of a scenario where this is wrong, but... I can't right now at least. Even if it's just that people *think* you have knowledge, knowledge have given you power even if you don't have it.
Augh, another random-color-letter-box! Fear!
