If knowledge was a Fruit

Knowledge of self can be self consuming.
See the fruit of knowledge consume your soul.
Are you hard enough to allow knowledge to leave its mark?
Hark, the knowledge tree eats those who touch its fruit.
Are you bold enough to bite the hand that teaches to feed?
Why is it that knowledge bites those who mishandle her fruit?
The fruit itself is mute, but speaks volumes in action.
Count ignorance as a minor distraction to the fruit of knowledge.
The teeth of ignorance are baby-like in comparison to the fangs of Noesis.
Know this; pay attention to knowledge least it bites your ignorance.
