Nowadays, the easiest thing in the world is to learn some information and knowledge. Most of the time people consider it something good as it is easy to know anything at any time and anywhere in the world. On the other hand, many people around the world are not happy with learning that much information as they think it brings them sadness and depression.
First of all, it can be said that knowledge is something we need and must gather. Learning information about a topic is indeed much easier when compared to the past. Also, it is true that if a person doesn’t have enough general knowledge it is considered as something a person must have because that level of knowledge is needed in life to have ideas on general topics and is required to start a conservation and have a normal sıocial life. So it can be said that basic general knowledge is something we must have and it is much easier nowadays with the help of technology.
Moreover, having a deeper knowledge about a specific topic that a person likes is something great as it helps the person make new friends socially active and earn a living with the help of the knowledge the person has on that specific topic. Studying at a university can be given as an example of this particular statement. because till the end of high school, a person learns general knowledge the person wishes to go to a university the person learns deeper knowledge about the area chosen. For example, if you study medicine at university you gather a deep knowledge about human anatomy and medicine. After you graduate from medicine school you will most likely earn quite a good amount of money. So gathering a deep knowledge on a specific topic is something that helps the person and it can be considered as good.
On the other hand, research and idioms show that the more you learn more you get depressed. It is also one of the reasons why in modern society depression rate is so high. Because if you learn something it is not going to be something good every time. you will learn quite a bad thing too. Also as we look through social media maybe we don’t realise but our brains send the information we saw to short-term memory and we get sad and stressed for all the other sad things we saw on social media. Furthermore, as you learn more about something you start to know everything which may be very disturbing things. For example, when you start to learn history you also learn about all the messed up things people did to each other for nothing back at the time. Also if you learn deeply about politics you learn all the bad and unethical things that people who lead us do and it makes the person feel uncomfortable and insecure. So knowledge is not always good.
To sum up, having that level of that basic level of general knowledge is required. Also studying and learning a deep level of knowledge about a specific topic is most of the time good as it helps the person. However, the more the person starts to know more the person has responsibilities and uncomfortable feelings as not every information is good so it can damage the person’s mental health and will put the person under a lot of stress. So it is like a contagious disease.
