Knowledge
Knowledge is a very complex subject one in which many quest to fully understand about certain subjects. People in our world strive to learn more because as we gain better comprehension we grow as individuals and excel in our subject areas. The main problem with knowledge is wanting to know more than is permitted or just wanting to know more than one should, not only in social aspects but in the greater universe as well. I question knowledge from a different perspective to challenge what I already know. By fully understanding something we can thus forward our society with innovations and teach others and that is the true gift of knowledge, being able to pass it down so everyone can spread and use it for a greater good. Personally by staying focused in school and absorbing all my teacher's reveal to me I will be able to acquire a greater knowledge one that will help me not only in college but in bigger terms of life. On the other hand it's important to use what we know wisely because knowing to much too soon can extremely effect a downpour of traumatic events, hence in Victor Frankenstein's situation. His thirst for knowledge was so great that he was consumed by his studies, after learning everything there is to know he felt this intuition to build an out of the ordinary creature, one who ended up hurting Victor because of his boundary breaking obsession. To end things off a typical cliche "Knowledge is the key to success" can be proven both true and false based on an individuals desire to do with it.
