Knowledge

     I interpret knowledge as facts or truth on a topic, used to clarify others' ignorance or misunderstandings on it. Whether it be about homosexuality, race, or a simple rumor, there are ignorant people who choose not to face facts and there are people who acknowledge the truth and accept it. I gain knowledge outside of school through researching on the internet, reading books, or simply talking with other people who are a primary source of a topic. Continuous acquisition of knowledge is important because if we let ignorance grasp onto us because of temptation, then we are more likely to misunderstand things and otherwise hurt others. The more knowledge we know on a subject, the easier it will be to face reality and understand real world topics.
