is this wrong

It is not with blindness that we fail to see
but for the lack of enlightenment
that comes with intelligence and knowledge. :bang;

You have that right!
Knowledge is power= awareness=awakening
I have found more by jumping in to the rabbit holes,
and unraveling the truth.
The answers are there when the dots are aligned.
Like ying and yang, the fractals of life will astound you to no end.

Peace! It comes to the ones that see the illusion.

It's not so much that anything is wrong. It's just that nothing is right.

I think that's true but it's not the absolute true. Little children can discern right from wrong, if it's not too complicated, from a very young age. For example, I was kind of apain in the ass when I was a kid, but I remember feeling embarrassement and empathy towards children that were bullied or scorned at school and I don't think this wasn't something that I had learned or had been educated into, because I have a clear memory of some sort of physical pain and shock when i saw this happening. So I'd say that to some extent we have some built in mechanism that kicks in when confronted to evil.

Sir your opinion holds value and the effort to express it, is appreciated. The statement ( question ) I made however, by nature excludes children and the less... well... the not as gifted as the rest of us. It is only when the knowledge is presented to a person whom has the intelligence to understand it, who then rejects or fails to see the truth, becomes blind ( metaphorically speaking ) or ignorant by definition.
