Knowledge is power

Knowledge is power is a latin aphorism (scientia potentia est). It is commonly attributed to Sir Francis Bacon, although there is no known occurrence of this precise phrase in Bacon's English or Latin writings. However, the expression "ipsa scientia potestas est" ('knowledge itself is power') occurs in Bacon's Meditationes Sacrae (1597). The exact phrase "scientia potentia est" was written for the first time in the 1651 work Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes, who was secretary to Bacon as a young man. Though its meaning varies from author to author, the phrase often implies that with knowledge or education one's potential or abilities in life will certainly increase. Having and sharing knowledge is widely recognised as the basis for improving one's reputation and influence, thus power. This phrase may also be used as a justification for a reluctance to share information when a person believes that withholding knowledge can deliver to that person some form of advantage. Another interpretation is that the only true power is knowledge, as everything is derived from it. In my view, the meaning of this quote is that the only real power that a man can have is education, a good spirit, honesty, modesty, everything about morality. Knowledge plays an important role in all spheres of human life and activity. It is a powerful factor which helps man to attain success, power and position. But, the big problem of power is that the power is for those who have money, you have money, you got the power..so, money is power...and, why not, for many people money can buy happiness. This is totally wrong. Money can buy a cloth, not love and more than that can`t buy health. Maybe you are happy for a new jacket or jewelry..but just for a few minutes, or a few hours; but if you`re smart and a good man and if you have knowledge, you`ve got the power and no one else. So, world, wake up and realize that you are manipulated by money, wake up and learn who to be better, kind and gentle. This means real power. So, world, let knowledge be your power, because money can`t buy us happiness.
