“Knowledge is power only when we choose to use it to our advantage.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from The Vision, chapter 33
In other words
Knowing something can make a person stronger or leave them more afraid. The truth about death may deepen life, or it may drain life of hope. An ugly fact about someone may bring clarity while destroying an easier belief.
Knowledge therefore carries possibility, not automatic power. Its effect depends on the place it is given in thought and the choices that follow. A fact that is only feared can weaken; the same fact used to prepare, accept, or change can guide action.
Power appears when understanding serves life. This does not require turning every painful truth into something positive. It means refusing to let knowledge end at injury when it can also inform the way forward.
