I really just depends on what knowledge. If it is something good or beneficial then yes. But if it is something that can destroy the world or hurt others then no.

No, it can be powerful but not always positive. It’s like learning someone is talking behind you’re back or something happening you aren’t supposed to know. It gives you leverage which can be positive or negative.

I would think that knowledge is a good thing until people start to use it as a way to put themselves above others. The more you know.

Knowledge is mostly a positive, unless used for bad. Knowledge has made it possible for discovering. It has been used for the wrong things in the past leading to destruction and chaos.

I don’t think that knowledge is always a positive thing. Some people would use it to manipulate others. Sometimes knowledge causes emotions in people that they don’t want to feel.

It does get used to manipulate others more then we want to admit.

Emotions can be very hard to come to terms with especially if you don’t want to feel that emotion.

Knowledge is not always a positive thing because knowledge is power and with power there can be a lot of bad.

Being knowledgeable is a good thing most of the time but if you use it to your advantage and use it against people the worse it can become.

Knowledge is not always a positive thing. People can use knowledge for bad and not good. If someone knows too much about something, in certain situations it can be used in a bad way.

Knowledge is a really good thing if the person with the knowledge knows how to use it the right way. But it’s not good if they take advantage of it and use it for bad things.

No knowledge is not always positive it can hurt others and make them feel bad about themselves. People just need to learn how to use it right

No, because sometimes the more you know the more people have an advantage against you.

No I don’t think that knowledge can always be a positive thing. If everyone knew everything then we wouldn’ t appreciate it when someone knows something. No one would have a purpose.

No because the context can be negative. The more knowledge you have the more information you have to use against people.
