In what ways may "knowing too much" help or hurt you?

[deucher]

My parents have always warned me that having too much knowledge will prevent me from getting a good night's sleep. When my parents said it, I simply accepted it at that point. However, as I got older, I began to question if that was indeed the case, and it proved out not to be the case for me. On the other hand, I'd like to learn a lot more so that I can become more knowledgeable and influence others. If you possess a great deal of information, I believe you will even begin to think more clearly.

Your parents are right but you have proved them wrong. Everything you do in life have two side effects. Nothing in life offers man only benefit without corresponding negative effects. The more you acquire knowledge, the more you are knowing the good and the bad of that knowledge.

In most cases, knowing too much often leads to more questions that needs answers. This might lead to sleepless nights.

If you are someone who tends to overthink things and have a lot of knowledge, it can sometimes lead to worry and restlessness. The weight of your knowledge can feel heavy and overwhelming, causing you to unable to relax.

In my experience knowing too much destroys that magical sense of the unknown, you have so much reasoning that instinct is not an option. There are things in the world that go beyond reason, and that is something that few intellectuals will be able to find out.

Sometimes I believe the motive of knowing too much can be dangerous there is one book which I read that says knowing too much seems bad in some instances so I I believe that it's not proper to claim you know too much
