The danger of knowledge

I think if I could read every book there was, I would be crazy. How would I ever be able to form an oppinion? Every author has them and some of them are dead wrong. It is also easier to read something that doesn't challenge you or make you mad. When this happens we only get the information we want to hear. If you want to be informed and you don't care if the content of the book pokes you in the chest, there is another danger. What if the author of this one is wrong too? If you are an idiot you will most likely read the books of authors who lack sound judement. How do we know who is the true gospel of a subject? Eveyday, a new title comes out with a newer fresher idea or story, but in the end they could be inaccurate as well. Sometimes I think"well read" means, "I have twelve books on philosophy and The Portable Beat Reader." In other words, "I own all the books that every cool and happening hipster owns." There are probably a million books out there and a philosophy for every one of them. I think that the person who has read the most books has very few oppinions. What good are ideas, if they always change and we're always looking for another to replace the last horrible one we discovered. I try to read less and less books because reading too many of them cooks up confusion. You can find lots of material to tickle your ears. In the book of Ecclesiastes it says that the overflow of knowledge will fill you up with sorrow. I used to think I new everything when I was younger. The more I read, the less I know and the less I know, the happier I feel. Books will eat your brain just like the television if you lack moderation. No matter what you believe, your beliefs will always change and so every thought that we have can be meaningless.
