IS KNOWLEDGE ALWAYS DANGEROUS?
Not always. And knowledge is not dangerous, knowledgeability is dangerous. To know
about facts is perfectly good, but to forget the mystery of life is dangerous. So knowledge
is not always dangerous; sometimes it can be of great help too.
A little anecdote:
Irish Paddy's wife Maureen had been rushed to the hospital that morning. Nine months
pregnant and now in labor, she gives birth to two beautiful twin daughters.
Irish Paddy, after a day's work laboring with rubble on the building site, marched up to
the hospital in the cool of an autumn evening to visit his wife in the maternity ward.
"Oh, hello, little sweet darling," he cooed to his Maureen, as he approached the bed with
a glint of curiosity in his right eye, as he observed two tiny babies arriving by the bed,
hand in hand with a nurse.
"I have had twins, me luv," said Maureen. And for ten long minutes Paddy sat bemused
by that bed, not knowing how to work it out.
The ward bell rang, Paddy kissed his wife and left. "By Christ!" he muttered, as he
walked the long corridor, "If I find the other bugger I will kill him."
