I do in fact believe that knowledge can be a burden rather than benefit, to some extent. Obtaining the knowledge, is more than half the reason why education and knowledge is a burden. The stress of obtaining knowledge to be on a certain level in life is a burden itself. Although knowledge is the key to all success, sometimes it is not the root of all happiness. Also having a lot of knowledge, can put pressure on people that in unnecessary, and stressful. When someone has achieved many things there is a pressure for them to be good at all things, and be successful always. However, even people with knowledge are human, and make mistakes. Just like in high school, as teens learn each year they have more expected of them each year. This creates a burden for students to be perfect each year, however students still have flaws, and forget things periodically. As people learn new things, there is a pressure that they aren't learning things fast enough, or aren't smart enough, and do not have they right abilities to learn things the way others can. Although stress can come for the process and from the impact of knowledge, knowledge can also be powerful. Taking the stress of knowledge and achieving everything that someone is capable of. Knowledge is something that will be worth the stress and pressure in the end. Knowledge is very valuable, and is the beginning of many options, and success.
