KNOWLEDGE IS A DANGEROUS THING

I have spent most of my life understanding what it is to be a writer. I trust myself and the knowledge I have gained. But sharing that knowledge with other human beings is often fraught with danger of exploitation. It seems to me that the world is peopled with givers and takers. The latter is very willing to take the knowledge I so willingly share and use it for their own ends. One is persuaded to think it is better to keeps things to oneself....but that is not my nature. I believe in inclusivity not to exclude and divide people. I would rather risk the danger than not be true to myself.
