forbidden knowledge

The creation of of the monster in the timeless work of literature "Frankenstein" was always portrayed as the very thin line that no scientist should ever cross. Many people portray this as forbidden knowledge. Frankenstein is all about forbidden knowledge because Dr. Victor Frankenstein gets so caught up in being equals with God that he spends years locked away shunning friends and family and even his health to try and one up God if i must say. There is always that limit that should never be reached because we as humans can never predict the full outcome of a situation and we can never know if it will make a turn for the good or bad. For Dr. Frankenstein his creation went completely south and did not come out as he envisioned. So sometimes some ideas and knowledge should be kept in the forbidden knowledge department for a reason.

Science, for better or for worse?

From the early 18th century us humans have been infatuated with the logistics and mystery of science. Slaving away in labs hours upon end with no urge to stop until each scientist discovered and figured out what he/she was most interested in. In present day our technology and scientific breakthrough's and theories are so advanced that we can create and explain nearly everything, but is this a good thing or a bad thing?. Some people will say it is a good thing some people will say its a bad thing. What we can all agree on is that knowing to much about anything is never a good thing for example, when we are children we do not have a care or a worry in the world because we are oblivious about the stresses and hardships of life but as we grow older we grow wiser and know more which also brings stress and worry upon ourselves.
