KNOWLEDGE IS A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD





KNOWLEDGE IS A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD
(A poem of natural wisdom)

Knowledge,
the mineral gem of
the wisdom of humankind,
nevertheless makes
wisdom of humankind’s
mineral resource hide.

Knowledge,
gold gushing out from
the wisdom of humankind, 
 nevertheless turns
the rich person’s wisdom of humankind 
to a poor man.

Knowledge,
the flame of
wisdom of humankind,
nevertheless makes
the power of wisdom of humankind
dry.

Let knowledge
become the burning accelerator. 
Let the glow of wisdom of humankind
shine more brightly.

Let knowledge
give force to humankind

Never allow
knowledge to become
the vanishing wisdom of humankind:
double-edged sword

By Shanlin-Tzu
