Chapter 15 - Short. On the nature of ignorance and knowledge .

Weaklings. Fools who intentionally blind themselves to the world around them. They turn their noses away from the knowledge which flies in front of their eyes.

You fools know the consequences of your actions, but continue happily in your foolish ways. You are like a brainless child who hits his hand with a hammer, knowing that it will hurt but curious if he can take the pain. Why must you torment yourselves? You choose to cast knowledge far away despite having the world at your fingertips.

Ignorance and knowledge cannot mix, for ignorance will always loathe knowledge. Yet, Ignorance and Knowledge are brothers, each standing at opposite sides of an metaphorical bridge. Ignorance stands in armor, carrying weapons, while Knowledge stands unarmed with hands spread wide eager to embrace his brother. Ignorance approaches for war, loudly and full of anger; Knowledge is keen for peace, speaking gently with love.

This is a self evident truth. These brothers cannot meet in the middle, for to do so would rip them of the very concepts that form their existence. So, friends, I call you now to cast off your ignorance, to step into the open arms and warm embrace of knowledge.
